As the topic/description says, I'm getting ready to put new tires on my 1998 Dakota Sport (2wd). The truck sees significant use 12 months a year (it has 206k on it so far), so I want something that will last, give a reasonable ride, and not cost more than the truck's current market value. Have tried Yoko Avids, Kumho equivalent (can't recall model), and the pathetic factory rubber. Anyone know of a durable alternative to those listed?

If the truck ever sees wet grass, the BFG All-Terrain KO might be a good choice. It is a very durable tire that works well in snow. The compound is fairly hard, so there are better choices for ice, but it is a popular choice for people who moonlight as parking lot snowplowers. I've used them on several trucks because of their wet grass prowess.

I'm currently running the Interco Trxus mud tire on my big Dodge. It is very soft and sticky and siped and works well on ice, but it probably won't last all that long if you are racking up a lot of miles.
