Have not, personally, But....
An Automotive mag article about a year ago compared a bunch of tires, all Load Range C, all same size, on a Jeep Grand Cherokee.
I have the article somewhere. But the first two tires, in order, were:
1 Pirelli Scorpion A/T
2 Bridgestone Dueler A/T
After that I really didn't care, other than to realize geolander was up there, and Michellin, but wangler AT/S had a hard time holding a stright line (in dirt), and the most famous of all off road BFG YKO A/T (or whatever..), you know, the one everyone thinks is best (their M/T too) - is Out Of The Running!
I am soon to get Scorpion A/T in LT265/75R16 (my stock tire is 245/75 wrangler AP, load range D). The Scorpion's have a max load capacity of 2470lb, as stated on the tire, this makes it almost a Load Range D (my stock D's are 2620). They are also "S" speed rated.
No other tire can meet these two specs alone!
Bridgestone doesn't meet these (my) requirements. But if I were to go to 285/75, Dueler's would be it (cause Scorpion aren't in that size. But 285,... I'd need new rims and my speedo would be that much more out of sync. As it is I'm 2-3 mph over reality with my stock, with 267/75, I'll be smack on the money, perhaps 1 mph slow (on the gauge), not enough to get me a ticket

I had Bridgestone Dueler ATs on my last F150. Greatest tire . . .good wear . . .quiet on highway . . .and EXCELLENT traction on snow and ice (losts of sipes) and well as mud. Had LT (light truck) type. Ride might have been a little rougher.

I put them on mine after I had 2 rims/tires stolen last Halloween. They are wearing very well so far, are quite on the highway and much much better traction on the wet roads than the stock Goodyears that came on it. Some use on muddy side roads showed good traction there too.
The only down side so far is they do ride a little rougher than the Goodyears.
I had the Dueller AT`s on a 4x4 a few years back and they were on for 50,000 miles when I sold it and still had plenty of tread left
here they are:
------------------
2000 F150 SC, XLT, Bright Red/Silver 4x2,Auto, 5.4, 3.55LS,CD, sliding rear window, Tow package,Captains chairs,Remote Entry, Ford Bedliner, molded splash guards,Stainless step bars and bed rails.
FM50 Delta single in/dual out the back.Clear Corners.Pretty much stock now but waiting for performance mods to include FIPK,,Superchip, new wheels/tires and new audio.
