Ice/Snow: Bridgestone Dueller AT Revo vs. Nokian Hakka LT's

Has anyone used either of these two tires. I can't decide between the
two. I want a tire that I can leave on year round but one that
performs well in ice, snow and rain.

I don't care about off road performance.

I'd also like something that has decent handling/low noise.

Both of these tires are pretty highly rated.

They're for my RAM 2500 4X4.

Fire up your browser and using the google search engine, look for "tires"
and/or goto www.tirerack.com. You should find reviews by people that have
purchased the tires in the past. From there you might get some idea about
the right tire for you.

I have the revos on my Pathfinder (96) and they have performed pretty well.
I live in Midway Utah (by park city) and we recently got dumped on. They did
very well. Plows don't even hit my street for at least 4 days after and they
did well. I have heard great things about the Nokians also, but I thought
they were mostly for cars?

I have the Dueler ATs and am in my second winter with them (Toronto
Ontrio Canada), They have been excellent in snow, ice and rain. I
can't remember feeling uncertain about how much control I have, or had
the feeling that I don't really have good traction and that a slide
could start at any minute if I don't drive extra careful.

In other words, I feel vey secure in the traction and handling in the
snow and ice and rain. Uusing 4x4 setting when appropriate of course.

I plan on replacing them with the same tire when they wear out.
