Nice! I'll now be getting these as well. I was going to go with P rating, but you've got me considering the C load. I just don't want the ride to be any rougher. Got a wife and a 1 week old little girl to keep happy!
Need new tires, any suggestions....

What's more expensive, spending money on a quality product which is where your vehicle actually contacts the road, or winding up in an accident b/c you decided to save a couple of hundred bucks on tires?
Owning an SUV is an expensive proposition, simple as that.
I personally have no issue spending $1000K for rubber on any of my vehicles.
I have the Michelin LTX AT/2 on my 4R right now, but have been unimpressed with the shoulder wear (seems a bit premature), but they are very good.
If I had to buy tires today, I would get the Cooper Discoverer AT3's. Very highly rated tire. The Goodyear Wrangler Duratracs would probably be second, but they seem to wear too quickly, according to most user reviews. I ran BFG AT/KO's on my Pathfinder for years, and they are an outstanding tire, especially off-road. Unfortunately, they arent very strong in the rain, and it rains here about 9 months of the year.

I'm running the Revo 2 287 70 17 TL, and have about 30K on them. They started out great but only have had them for a year and never had any huge snow storms up by me. Just recently they have gotten loud and about 10k ago there was a slight bubble in the tread. They are not a good tire if you off road at all, but if you stick to the streets they are great. My BFG AT were on my SD and worked find in normal snow and ice but they hatted slush which we get a lot of when we do start to get big storms. I will be looking at tires this winter if Tahoe gets a good dumping of snow, this time around I will get either the Firestone Destination AT or the Duratrac as both of these are known to be great in snow and ice up here.
And to those who don't think you need to get bigger tires with a lift i dissagree

Oh yeah, if you go with the GYSA ($1000 + $68 for installation in my neck of the woods) then you get this:
Goodyear Tires | Wrangler Utility Package
And most importantly for those of us who actually get off the beaten path (better have a way of getting a signal like a Sat Phone!)
Now, it is up to a service provider and YMMV - but hey, one more layer of protection that is most certainly not available for most tires.

For some reason I was expecting better performance in rain, snow and mud. They are good on dry road. I might try something else next time around. That is just my opinion and you can try them if you like the look of them.
What size are you running? Any full size shots from the side?
Edit..nvm I zoomed In on my phone.
Wait........are you saying that
you don't like your Firestone Destination A/T's? And if not, why not? I'm assuming you would not recommend them to anyone, given your apparent dissatisfaction?

I have duratracs...overall they are good but add road noise, decrease mileage and for a "snow rated" tire I was left unimpressed.
I've been playing the last couple days in the snow. This is the first real snow my coopers have been in this year. I'm visiting my sister for the holidays in Pulaski NY. So far we've got 18" of snow since the storm started. We might finally see some sun on Monday. Anywhere from 3-15" each day (depending on the lake effect bands).
My Cooper AT3's are EXCELLENT in the snow. No problem handling the white stuff. I've had these tires about 40k miles now and they are EXCELLENT tires. A hair noisy on dry pavement..but that's to be expected.

I have the Destination A/T's and they are are a very good tire. Great on dry pavement and quiet compared to other A/T tires. However, I do not like how they perform in the snow. Traction in snow is not what I expected. I will try a different tire next time. I live in PA and did not want a dedicated snow tire, just a tire that performed better than this in the snow.

I'm pretty sure that's Philadelphia.... All jokes aside, Nitto Terra-Grapplers or Nitto Trail-Grapplers are great. With either you can do pretty much anything.
I just recently got new tires and went with the Hankook Dynapro ATM's
I know some people on here said don't go with the Dynapro's because one or two of our members here said they are not good in rain - well you know what? I drive in all sort's of weather conditions and no problems. I have had my Dynapro ATM's on for about 4 months now and I have put them through rain, snow, dry pavement, sand, rock, mud, wet grass and everything - guess what? No issues at all. I hate how one or two people get on here and talk crap on a tire or something similar and it ruin's it for everyone who looks at the tire or owns the tire themselves. Before I bought mine everyone on here was like, don't buy those because so and so said they are not good on wet roads - well you know what? I found that to be BS, so I have no idea what the couple negative comments were about.
These have been the best tire by far that I have ever owned.
They look great, feel great, sound great, great price and perform amazing.
We just recently had a really good winter storm with a good amount of snow. I had to trouble getting through the snow and ice on the roads. No slidding or nothing. Before it rained it was raining pretty good and I was leaving from work and on the way home. Between work and home I travel on back road's, highway's and also interstate's and I had no problem in rainy weather and wet road's. Amazing tire in all conditions.
Tire: Hankook Dynapro ATM's
Size: 265-70-17's
Lift: 2.5" suspension lift
My previous tire was a 265-65-17 but I wanted a little bigger tire so I jumped to the 265-70-17 and made the truck look a lot better and I like the tires now. I feel the 265-65-17's were a little to small but the 265-70-17's are just perfect. In number's it doesn't appear to be a bigger size but trust me there is a difference for sure.
