I'll be in the market for new tires for my 15 in the next month or so. That being said, I travel rural blacktop roads90% of the time. The other 10% is highway driving. I never do off roading. Tire size is 275/55/20, and thr Goodyear Wranglers that came with the truck have 38k on them. I'm looking for a decent all season tire that will get long tread life (50k+) Living in the NE I get snow 2-3 months a year.
I've been looking at :
Bridgestone Dueler LTH
Michelin LTX
BF Goodrich K02
I am not limited to these choices, but it's where I started.
I'm looking for opinions and other suggestions that will fit my driving needs and the mileage specs.
Thanks to all in advance.

I'm a Michelin man. I've run the LTX tires for more miles over the years than anyone would believe.

For what you're looking for/usage there's no other option.

Have to concur. As a teenager I worked in a tire shop and have been a Michelin man ever since. Can't beat them for mileage, durability etc. If you can get them at Costco do it, their warranty is very good. Last time I had to drive on a flat and damaged the tire Costco gave me 4 new tires for the partial price of one, because the model designation of the tire had changed and their policy is replace all 4 tires on a 4X4.

Not all Costcos will be this good however.

Having said that, there are other good brands out there too, Bridgestone, Hankook, etc. But for your application, you won't go wrong with Michelins.

My 2018 has Goodyears on it, will be replacing those ASAP. I made the mistake of buying Goodyears ONCE - will not make that mistake again.

I recently replaced my stock 275 55 R20 for some 275 60 R20 Falken Wildpeak AT3W (pics attached). They are P rated and 48 pounds, and all the reviews I read were very good. I got all 4 for $715 which is a steal. I had 2 sets of Duelers on my last truck and got about 40K miles both times out of those. They weren't as aggressive as the Falken's and ran about $1200. I do believe the Falken's in 275 55 R20 are LT and not P.

I've run the LTX (MS/2) models in the past. good ride and really quiet. the BFG K02s look really good on these trucks IMO.

Personally I'm torn between the Defender LTX and the LTX A/T 2's.

I'm an all terrain guy and have had Nittos for a long time from my 1 ton diesel to my next 2 3/4 ton diesels. Seemed to notice the quality slipping the last year I had them on my old pickup. Currently have the good years on my 15 but will be looking at toyo open countryAT II's or the Falken wild peak A/T3W. Toyos are on the higher end of price but my brother runs them on his diesel and likes them. The falkens are cheaper but I saw some on a truck the other day and really like the way they looked. decisions decisions

I would go with the BFG AT KO2 for durability, I've had them on 3 previous trucks and they wear like iron. I had toyo open country AT2 on a 1 ton diesel and those seemed to last nice as well. I currently have hancook dynapro at on my 2018 but will be replacing them in the spring with either the BFG AT or Nitto ridge grapplers. Never had Michelin or bridgestone so I cannot say anything good or bad about them.

Is it a softer more cushioned tire than the OEM Goodyears? Which LTX do you recommend? I see a premier LTX, LTX M/S2 and defender LTX.

According to the feedback on Tire Rack the Defender LTX's trump the LTX A/T 2's in all aggregate categories.
