Default Tires for a 2500HD

I'm purchasing tires this week and I can't decide between

$838 shipped Dunlop Rover M/T Maxx Traction from tire rack installation not included

$909 shipped Pro Comp Xtreme All Terrain Radial from my local 4 wheel drive shop installation most likely included

$1000 Fuzion XTI A/T's from a private sale mounted on 16" Motometals included 500miles on tires

either way i'm trying to stay at $1000 or less for price/shipping/install



any help would be much appreciated thanks!

There are some pictures at the end of this thread. One truck has the stock tires on it (245x75x16), the other has 265x75x16 BFG AT KO's.

EDIT***

Oops sorry, I didnt see that you already had it narrowed down to three others. In that case, I like the Dunlops.

back when i had my mercedes a lot of the guys ran those rovers but they didnt last long about 20K miles.

Ive had grate luck out of BFG muds on a 2500.

A friend has procoms on his dodge and likes thems... so far so good.

I only have experience with one of those tires and thats the Dunlop Mud. Like stated above, they wear fast! Also if you are looking for a quiet tire, forget this one... these things scream on the highway. They are however a great tire for in the mud and the price obviously isn't that bad on them. I presume those are for 35s?

EDIT: just read you are looking at the Max traction and not the Mud Rovers

they were Load Range E and my truck comes with Load Range D and i recently started work where i have been putting 3000Lbs of stone block and concrete in the bed so i'd rather not run the chance of blowing a tire at 45mph :-/ besides that i loved those tires too!
