Usually a BFG AT/KO is the choice of most pullers. Wes

AT's are what everyone says are the best, I personally prefer the MT but you may save yourself a little breakage without as much traction, I think if you are worried about breaking stuff you are playing the wrong game. I think the 35" height might be a bit much, I would prefer a 33" or 31" depending on your gear ratio.

Good luck

A good choice would be the baja claws with about half tread on them. They seem to hook very well but aren't that bad on parts. The 35's as mentioned before are a bit tall but you just might have to drop to a lower gear to pull. I pull with the 305/70/R17 Mud Dawg, kinda like a BFG M/T and haven't had problems with them in the past. The thing with the m/t's is they usually dig to much and bog you down or break stuff. Fill out your sinature so we can see your mods and what kind of truck you have.
