How are the stock tires in snow?
You're going to love those tires. I've had them on for about 2 weeks now, and I don't have any complaints at all. Rides so much better than before, and for an AT tire, they look pretty damn aggressive. I've gotten a few compliments already. I can't wait for the snow to come now!
I have Firestone Destination A/Ts on my truck, and they are infinitely better than the Badyear Wanglers I had before. They barely lasted 20k miles, and like the last two sets I had on previous trucks, they sucked in everything but perfectly dry weather. With the Firestones, traction is no longer a problem, and I can stop worrying about my tires trying to kill me every time a cloud appeared on the horizon. They are worth the price, no questions asked.
You will love them. I used to have the SR'A's on my other 06 dak and could not stand the damn things. Keep in mind I live in one of the driest areas of the country (Phoenix) and if you even had the slightest dirt patch at a stop sign or light, or it had a drop of water from the neighbors hose those tires would just light up and be impossible to keep tracked!
The hankook dynapro AT/M's are a great tire and get me up the slick boat ramps without using 4wd. I laughed this summer when a new Tacoma had to throw his truck into 4wd to get his boat out (he almost slid sideways into me beforehand). I slowly accelerated forward and pulled my boat out without so much as a chirp or slide!

I hated the Wranglers. I couldn't wait to get rid of them. I replaced them with Bridgestone Dueler A/T Revo's and loved them! But...they wore out. So, I replaced them with Bridgestone Dueler A/T 695's. I've had them on for a little over a month and they have worked great...even in the little bit of ice and snow we had last week.
After doing some research, I think once I lift the truck I'm also going with the Hankook DynaPro ATM RF10's in a 275x65x18 size. Quite a few favorable reviews of these tires on the interwerbs. And the price is pretty good for the size.

You will not regret it!
The RT/S is not a horrible tire, be glad you somehow escaped the curse of the SR-A garbage most of us got stock.
