Default Geolander at II, Bridgestone AT, or Revos

Down to these 3 tires. Need something kind of aggresssive but not a mud tire.

Geolanders are $111 ea
Bridgestone AT are $123 ea
Bridgestone Revos are $141 ea

I m leaning towards the Geolanders but I m reading mixed reviews. Tread wear being the biggest complaint.
Any help is appreciated. Tire size is 265/70/17

I have the Geolanders in 285/75/16 with about 20k on them I rotate every 5k and they look just like the day they were put on. I would buy another set tomm if I had to. No experience with the others but I was also choosing between revos and geos when I went with the geos.

I have the A/T revos on my Z-71 Suburban and love them for florida conditions like sand, wet weather traction and no noise on the road . Theses tires are a soft compond rubber so match them to your conditions.

The ATs have a $50 rebate and the Revos have a $75 rebate, so price is going to be pretty close.

I go to the mountains alot to ride atvs and I m on some dirt/gravel roads and snow and ice in the winter. So, traction is a must. The stock tires are a bridgestone and they suck. I cant even drive in my yard after a rain without them spinning.

How do the Geolanders look? Do they look aggressive when mounted? Wife has the revos on her Jeep and she loves em.

i had the A/T's on my last truck and loved them, great in wet weater, couple time i would be going 80 mph in the rain, hit a thing of water and no hydropaining. plus i loved the look of them, real arrgessive form the side. but my next tires will be the revos bec they don't make the a/t's in a 285/70/17. also my aunt had the geolanders on here montero sport, horrible tires, wore really bad.
here they are on my last truck:

we run the Revos on our work trucks... they last forever.. we have gotten 80k miles out of a set before they were replaced, then they went on a 1500HD and have gotten 25k miles out of them.... still driveable with treads left..

Holy Grille Guards Batman!

I had the revos on my last truck and loved them. Only problem with them is that their 17" sizes are P-metric instead of LT.

Yes, grille guards are the **** when you're doing the smashing

$1400 worth of damage to a Maxima, not a scratch on my truck (when I had the Smittybilt grille guard on). Almost totaled a Volvo with my old Suburban, just had to scrape his paint off my grille guard and I was good to go
