I'm really happy with the BFG All Terrain's. This is my second et of them, just got them in June. I cant complain, they last long, good traction. The only thing that really sucks is these tires pick up every dang rock and pebble there is, and hold onto it for a few miles, then throw it out when you are going 70! OTher than that, no comlaints. Next time around I am going to try the NItto Terra Grapplers though. Good luck.

Probably going to get Toyos for my truck. I'd like Open Country MTs but don't REALLY need 'em, so probably ATs.

Michelin just came out with an LTX AT/2 that I have in 285/70/17. More aggressive than the stock Michelins, but not as aggressive as the BFG AT's. If you're looking for a street tire with a little snow or off road, check these out.

I just came back from a 850 mile trip. They're no louder than my stock Michelins and the truck rides a bit smoother with the 285 footprint. There's a pic in my gallery of them.

Anyone seen the new BF Goodrich mud terrain t/a km2. Looks like a croos between the krawler and the mud t/a. Wonder how soft of a compound they are building it with, anything like the krawler and it will wear out in no time.

I wouldn't get the Nittos. I've got the 285/75/17s on my totally stock '07 and they won't get to 20,000 miles.

I've got just over 8000 miles on them and they're about half gone.

On the bright side,they do have pretty good traction,and look good.
