I replaced my tires about 1-1/2 years ago with Bridgestone tires. They are excellent. Just went through a rough winter (at times) and never had any issues with the tires. Nice quiet ride, never any issues in the rain or snow. I can't remember the type, but I would recommend them. I'll take a look when I get home tonight and post the type tomorrow for you.

I have been a user of Bridgestone tires once before on my summer cruiser, a 1971 MGB, and loved them. The tires that I ended up putting on the truck are Bridgestone Dueler H/L Alenza tires, stock size. Upon reading up on them on the internet, they rated second on Tire Rack behind a set of Goodyear Fortera Triple Treads. They however rated slightly better in the snow, had a better warranty and were cheaper. Most of the customer reviews had very positive things to say, and I have to agree with most everything that was said. Hope this helps. The tires are pricey, but worth every penny in my eyes. They are on my wifes truck, and I feel better knowing she has a good set of rubber on her truck.

I am running Geolander AT + II and those tires started off great, but after 20,000 miles I will have to replace them. Tread life sucked. Do not get these tires.

I will be in the market for a set before deer season this fall.

I have had the Bridgestones on my truck for around 20,000-30,000km, and they show very little in signs of wear. I forget the tread life rating, but it was quite good and I have had them on the truck for over 1 year now. I now see that there are two other tires that are rated higher than this one, dropping it to #4 on Tirerack.com.

Discount tire is going to make me deal on a new set of tires. I will get Yokohamas but it will have a better treadlife and still give me some offroad traction.
