I just re-shoe'd my 1-ton SRW with Hankook Dynapro ATM tires. So far good but they really have not been put to the test yet. Priorities for me are load rated E along with good traction on less than desirable road conditions; i.e. snow/ice. I was very interested in the Nitto Terra (or Dura) Grappler as they are supposed to be excellent but fell slightly short in regards to usage on snow/ice, some like them, some don't.
The Hankook Dynapro have lots of manufacturer siping which was the clincher...this and they are still considered an All-Terrain tread.
Just a quick update...
Finally got all the snow off my truck and had to make the climb out of my ice covered driveway, make a 90* turn and up a slight hill. The Hankooks did great and did not slip at all. I would have had to throw it in 4x4 had the OEM Michelin LTX A/T 2 (the bad ones as The Mad Norsky pointed out) still been on there. Those LTX A/T 2 were always really poor for traction in dicey conditions...even when new.
But again, I have always heard good things about the Michelin LTX M/S 2.
