Default Which tire to get?

Bridgestone Dueler A/T Revo or the BFG T/A K/O? I know the BFG is highly recommended but looking at the reviews and stuff the Revo ranks a little higher.
Both in a 285/75/16
One thing I didn't see was if the Revo's have one side blackwall? Anyone know. Mainly highway driving also.
Anyone weigh in on which to choose and why? TIA!

I always vote for BFG's. I have ran them on just about every truck I have ever had (7 sets) and I am getting ready to get another set for the super duty that I drive. They wear good as long as you keep them rotated and they provide great traction.

the duelers suck in my book. my dad had them on his HD when he bought it and they suck for traction, treadwear, and anything else really, he had 285/75R16s too, then he got some maxxis bighorns and they are great, a little noisy but a great gripping and wearing tire

The Dueler is the worst tire Ive ever had. I didnt get **** for milage and they just flat sucked.

I have the Nitto Terra Grapplers and LOVE them. I like ~55k from my first set and this is my 2nd.
