tire shoping

well after just over 40k miles my 30x 9.5 r15 bridgestone duelers a/t revo's are down to the tread wear indicator.

they seemed to roll at anything under 40 psi, but stuck to the road like glue. and were too soft, i got chunks on them going up a dirt road for about a mile.

now it is time for a replacement. i think i am gonna drop down to a 235/75 r 15 )almost stock (225/75 r15 is stock) but alot more choices.

this time i want a highway tread.
the tire i think i like is a General Grabber HTS

but havnt located them locally yet.

i did stop by sams club and was shown Radial Long Trail T/A by BFGoodrich.

for 440 installed, i have had them before(in a 31x10.50 r 15) but dont remember if i liked them.

i also liked the weird tread on the Fortera by goodyear.

but i dont know about them


i want a tire that is llr "ish" that can fit on my truck, that is driven on highway 99% of the time with no load on it. it also rains quiet abit here.


( if i need to tow or haul i got the 09)

so what are you all opinions? i am open for any tire that is good.
