Default Need advice on tires!

So my truck came with brand new Firestone destinations at' but I'm extremely disappointed in them so I'm starting to look at all terrain tires.(snowflake rating is a bonus) my brother has the wild country radial xtx sports and claims they are unbelievable! Also been checking out cooper at3/zeon ltz, dick cepek fun country and the general grabber at2. What are your opinions on these tires? Any other suggestions? Whats the best bang for my buck$$?

Looking for 275/60/20

Thanks guys

I've got a friend with Cooper AT3's on a Hummer H2 and he had no problem outrunning me in deep snow offroad on my BFG All Terrains. I've never had them myself but after seeing how they worked for him I would definitely consider buying them. otherwise, the Toyo A/T has always been one of my favorites and they're pretty reasonably priced.

I also like the Cooper Discoverer AT3.

Right now Discount Tire Direct on Ebay is offering $100 off purchases over $400. They have listings of that tire for (2) of them at $458. You could buy (2) sets of (2) and save $200. I've done this in the past on other tires and it worked perfectly. They have other makes/models, too. Here is the link to the AT3s:

Best bang for buck, and has snowflake rating is the BFG KO2. Goodyear Duratrac also has snowflake, but very pricey. Lasts forever though. Do a search on here for those two and you'll find tons of reviews.

Thanks for the tip. I was looking for a reason to buy some new Nitto Trails!

At least where I live, I was able to get the duratracs for much less then the KO2's. Like 40 bucks a tires cheaper. This is in the 275/60R20 size.

My cooper ATP's do very well in the snow...I have about 10k on them and I'm very happy with them and they give about the same gas mileage as the stocj tires. I had duratracs for awhile but didn't like them because they felt unstable (like they had a lot of sidewall flex) and they dropped my mileage 3 mpg.
