Hands down its Bridgestone, if you're talking about "on" road performance.. There's no doubt. Really decent in the off road as well but probably not a top 3 tire there.
They last forever too. Not bad when tires cost so much.
Best on road ride AT tires

This is probably true. For myself, and probably the vast majority on this forum, more than adequate. I've never had noticeable lack of traction for the type of trails that I travel, and I rarely air down. As someone has noted on a separate post here somewhere, they do tend to throw some rocks up into the wheel wells. But as I travel 95%+ on dry/wet/snow/ice pavement, these tires are king, and they always get me through a trail run without any problem.
That said, I have only run these and BFGs for the last 20 years, so no real data for comparison on my part.
I agree and I couldn't be happier going back to 31's in a 285. My 33's in 275 were harsh, but went 65k!
I second that I love these !!!!
My 1st set of second gens but 3rs set of at revos and they ride AWESOME!!!!!
Bridgestone AT Revo 2

I have seen many sets of nitto tgs on trucks an jeeps etc...best all terrains, clean out good, sticky in the snow/ice. long tread life too
first impressions after a month of driving with Michelins LTX AT/2 275/65R18 which replaced Dunlop GrandTrek23 275/60R18:
- you can feel that tire is heavier - takes a bit more time to get going
- did not notice any difference in noise level
- braking is about the same
- appearance is much better - now LC 100 looks more the way it should - it is stock otherwise
Winter will show how good these tires really are. Just wanted to share my early feedback for now.

I've run bfg a/t's, revos, hankooks, and toyo's on two vehicles, including an 80 series. I currently run duratracs on my 100. The revo or the toyo would be a great choice for you. They are great in any weather condition, and still decent off-road. I'm completely sold on my duratracs though, only had them for a month now, best all-around tire I've ever had. Just had them in 2 feet of fresh snow last week and mud some mud also. They do hum on the road a little (nothing like a mt though).
My Falken WildPeaks are affordable, ride great, climb well, and have a 50k mile tread wear warranty.
After running two sets of Duelers on my Pathfinder, I switched to LTX's and really liked them. Not appropriate for the stuff most folks here do, but a good (if not spendy) highway tire.
Worst tires I can remember (had lots and lots of cars/trucks/tires) = Michelin Latitude HPs; rode like bricks
Best tires (same disclaimer ^) = BFG ATs; amazed at how smooth, quite...

I ran a set of Yokohama AT/S in that size for almost 50K miles. I already mentioned this story a couple weeks back, but later today I'm having Discount Tire take back (for full credit) my Bridgestone Revo/2 tires. I agree with others that on-road they're quiet and a really nice tire. Problem is three weekends ago on their first off-road outing (early deer hunt) I had a large sidewall tear or blow-out. Pretty mild roads. My confidence is not there with them to go off-road here in AZ. Also my MPG's went down almost 1 MPG with these the past few tanks I've monitored.
Discount just got the Cooper Discoverer AT/3 in, it's between that and back to the Yokohamas that served me well both on and off-road.
I switched just because I wanted something different after 4-5 years.
I'm partial to the Yokohamas where we have a lot of rocky roads/trails here in AZ. An the price is good
I, too, have not been a big fan of the BF Goodrich AT tires just due to road noise and early wear.
My .02 - thanks.

Here is a new option from BFG
BFGoodrich Rugged Terrain T/A
This tire is more of an on-road tire but it can handle off road as well. The reviews say it is outstanding in the rain/wet conditions but is capable in most off-road applications. BFG has spent a few years testing/tweaking this tire and i am sure it is a winner. In the LT285/70/17 it weighs 50 lbs versus 59 lbs for my current AT-KO's. I am looking forward to taking my current tire/wheel combined weight from 83lbs to 74lbs. I lost almost 1.5mpg when i added the heavier AT KO's to my hundy. Acceleration and braking deminished as well.
It looks pretty cool as well
I just need to find the money and convince the CFO that i need to replace tires that still have a lot of tread left.
Wish me luck....

I have the same tire ^ with about 8k miles on them, although not on a 100. So far so good.
On the street they are as quiet as the stock michelins that come on the GX460. I haven't done any "real wheeling" but did get caught in a flash flood in SW Colorado. A few inches of mud washed over the road and most couldn't get through it. It was more slick than ice, but these tires kept the truck going. I even helped a few folks get through it. I have 275/65/18's that are E rated. For an E rated tire - they ride extremely nice. It's hard to say what my gas mileage is as they are slightly larger than stock tires.
In September I made a trip to Vegas. My house to the Wynn, door to door is 316 miles - I pumped just over 19 gallons when leaving. I averaged about 80 mph on the way there - 16.6 mpg ain't too bad. I'm sure I could get close to 20 if I was easy on the skinny.

Goodyear Wrangler Duratrac. Have them on my 2004 4Runner. Always get compliments on them - even after 30,000 miles. Great even on wet roads. Look extremely aggressive but low noise. Excellent offroad. Will definitely be going on my 100 series if I can ever wear the Michelins out.

First. Why 285s after 295s? I am on the fence and need to dismount soon.
Second. Nitto again? What have you considered--Revos? Others?
Third. 35k miles on Nittos--you think this is typical, or are you tearing it up?
There are so few tire threads...
