'13- 2500HD Tire Shopping
I am planning on new tires within then next month or so, and have it narrowed down to a few possibilities. Truck is stock, no leveling kit, and t-bars are still at factory adjustment. I don't plan on ...

TY to all for the suggestions and feedback!!!
Looked at the Yokohama, the Geolandar A/T definitely looks intriguing. The Nokian isn't available in the 265/60 or 275/60/20, so no go there.
I have considered the Michelins, but do like a slightly more aggressive looking tire. :)
Just know there have been a few reports of the Coopers not wanting to balance (if I remember correctly), causing a slight vibration issue. It sounds like it is/was more so the P rated tires. I did not have any issues with the LT C's on our 1500 though....
Give the Toyo Open Country II's a consideration as well. My buddy had been pretty happy with his on his '13 Ram 2500. I would have to go to an 18" (have considered it, but doesn't seem reasonable pricewise to do so) to go with the OC II's as they don't have a 20" that will fit my Chevy without a leveling kit or lift without going to a considerably wider model (295/55/20 or so). If Toyo had a 265 or 275/60/20, they would be on the short list. Darn GM trucks with their abnormal wheel opening!!! Lol
Good luck to you too!!!

Cooper A/T3: Had a set for on our '10-1500 and loved them!!! Great tire in all conditions, dry, rain, snow, ice, etc.. Mud was the only condition I never had them in (not counting dirt roads). Stock size, about $200 more than the ATP.
I am curious if you find something you think will be better than the A/T3s. I will be swapping my tires out next year and my default is Michelin LTX MS/2 which have provided good service and wear for me in the past. Even with a much less aggressive looking tread they have served me well in snow too. Note I spend more time running in the rain than you do (Oregon) and do not deal with more than a couple of inches of snow. After your comment and reading the reviews on this Cooper I will consider it as well. Cooper A/T3 at TreadDepot with reviews at bottom
Good luck,
