Question Performance Tires - 275/60-R17

I'm replacing the stock Goodyear Eagle GTII's (275/60-R17's) While I consider the GTII's to be a fairly good looking tire from the sidewalls, the wet traction on these tires is pretty rough! About the only tires I have been able to find in this size are the Dunlop Sport Rover GTX, the Yokohama AVS S/T's and the BFGoodrich Comp T/A HR4's. Anyone had any expierence with any of these tires, or recommend anything else you consider to be better?
Also, does anyone have any pictures of any of these tires mounted on your truck?

thanks in advance guys...

I like both of the tires I have had in diffrent ways. The Dunlops rode tight and handled great. The goodyears have a bit softer ride and filled out my wheelwells, but they have more sidewall flex. I did lose a bit of real low end torque going with the bigger tire, but I got used to it fast. Good shopping.

You may also want to look at the Michelin Pilots or Bridgestones H/L's. Go to TireRack.com. They have several brands in that size.
