Dory, those land terrains are a great all-season tire... great wet/dry traction and they are decent in mud/snow... very quiet durable all-season tire... the reason I switched was that I wanted an aggressive all-terrain tire..lol my silverado is actually 2wd and I have no tracion problems on road or in snow..

when I took them off of the blazer after about 15,000 miles (dirty, but in good shape)...

A decent Radial will suit you well for all season driving....

Silentarmors are very nice! but a bit pricy!

Tripletreads are great for the winter, but not really an all season tire.

and NJ, I wasnt trying to start anything, just voicing what I know, I may not know a lot but tires I have worked with a long time! Mounting 50+ a day...

Look at the tires originally spec'd on just about all of our trucks... They are 'P'assenger tires! My Bravada had the OE P235/70R15 tires on it... Even loaded, I doubt I exceeded the load rating of the tire.

I was thinking about getting the Radial Rover RVXT is Dunlop's Off-Road All-Terrain light truck tire designed to combine on-road comfort with off-road traction. The Radial Rover RVXT was developed to meet the needs of pickup truck and sport utility vehicle drivers who want to combine long highway treadwear with traction off-road and in the snow.
The Radial Rover RVXT features a rugged 4-rib, independent block tread pattern that extends over the shoulders and part way down the sidewalls to enhance off-road traction. Deep circumferential grooves, along with lateral grooves and sipes, help reduce the possibility of hydroplaning and provide dry and wet traction on and off the road. On the inside, the Radial Rover RVXT combines two, high-density steel belts for strength with Dimensionally Stable Polyester (DSP) cord that reinforces the sidewalls to provide a smooth, even ride.
The Radial Rover RVXT tire meets the industry's severe snow service requirements and is branded with the snowflake-on-the-mountain symbol

$90.00 (Each) This is also for 235/70/R15

You know what I appologize for jumping down your throat like that . Didn't mean anything by, I just deal with tool bags all day on other forums and I keep forgeting that this site has a different setting. Thats fine that you work for a tire shop and after you said that I spoke to someone at tire rack regarding this and they assured me that tire was correct and gave me the speach they sell millions of tire a week.. blah blah blah... With that said, Dory you have alot of tires that people here have reccomended to ya... Good luck picking one out. Just make sure you do your home work on the tire just to make sure you are getting the best tire for the right price. You get what you pay for.

Are these a good type of tire? Radial Rover RVXT is Dunlop's Off-Road All-Terrain light truck tire designed to combine on-road comfort with off-road traction.
