I went Yokohama but only because I could not afford the Michelins. The Michelins have the best rating on TireRack and many users on this forum say great things about them, esp on wear and balancing issues. I got my Yokos for $60 cheaper a tire and just couldn't justify the Michelins on my budget. Tires are too new to say if they are any count, but I like them so far.

well i just got back from the firestone dealer, and they are willing to give me $320 credit towards the purchase of new tires because my stock duelers crapped out so fast 1 year, 22000 miles...what would you recommend?

I mean yea im saving $320 but whats the point if ill need new bridgestone/firestone tires after 30 k?

I had the Yokahamas on mine for 50+K miles, all highway driving. They are great but not the best in snow/ice. They were good in rain until around 40K miles.
Now I have the Firestones (only for a month or so), I got them for better snow/ice traction, since I drive the truck much less. They seem to handle and ride ok. I also went from 275/70R16 (Yokahama) to 265/75R16, this way I still have a larger tire but a bit narrower for better rain/snow/ice handling.
