Looking for a new set of tires for a 2004 Ram 3500 4x4 dually.

Having had only a 1500 & 2500 before I didn't realize the Michelin doesn't make the Defender LTX M/S in 235/80/17 for the 3500

So the search is on for a new tire, that it going to see primarily hwy driving pulling a 13k 5th wheel.
I want something that can at least manage to stay on the road in snow. I don't plan to purposely drive it in the snow, as I'm retired now and can wait for it to melt. But if it starts snow while I'm away from home, or if needed for an emergency, I don't want a set of roller skates either. Some tires just plain suck in snow.

So with that in mind I'm looking at the 2 tires below, but open to suggestions.
SIZE: LT235/80R17
Michelin Agilis CrossClimate
Bridgestone Dueler H/T 685

Anyone use either of these on a 3500?

From the reviews I can find on line, both are favorable on heavy trucks.
While people that put them on lighter trucks & vans are not as pleased.

I've always had good luck with michelin's, but not so much with Goodyear & Firestone's... or various Asian tires.

Thoughts? work shruggy

I think either would be fine, just how much do you want to spend? I ran LTX on my '02 mainly because they were on sale and employee discount bought with Sears cards at Giant Eagle for fuel perks. realcrazy I run Defender LTX M&S on both my other cars so I am biased.

Yeah I ran the Defender LTX M/S on my 2500 and old 1500 as well.... but they don't make them for the 3500 dually.
I didn't really want the LTX A/T2.... so going to give the Agilis CrossClimate a try.
Picked a set up at Tirerack in DE, so I saved some on PA taxes & $96 for not shipping them.
With a bonus of filling the truck up with 35gal of fuel $0.55/g cheaper than it is here in PA.

I'll get them mounted up when it gets inspected and then see how they do.
