Toyo country ATs vs BFG ATs

I hate both with a passion, Toyo mainly makes something thats good in real loose dirt/sand, but get shreaded in even slightly rocky areas (including loose rocks, lol).
The BFGs are the same, just a tad bit sturdier (assuming the BFG your talking about is the "classic" design, if its the newer ones [that come stock on some trucks these days] those are even worse).
As a guy who drive as much off road as on road (I work off-road in places where we might have a even build a temporary "road"), I can honestly say that I only buy the Timberline A/T anymore (not the A/T2 lol), I've spend a lot of money in the pursuit of a good semi off-road tire, and the Timblerline A/T has his the mark for me.
Other than that, I would strongly suggest looking into any commercial truck tire (like the Timberline A/T is), when its all said and done, you get what you pay for...
EDIT: I noticed someone suggested the General Grabber, this is the same company that makes the Dayton Timblerline, the grabber really is a good tire, but its more of a loose material tire (like the Toyo's and BFGs), the General brand also has a "knock-off" of the Timberline series, though I can't remember what they call it.

Whats the average tread life of the Cooper ST...Cause the price is good for 255 a piece for being a 35 inch tire

I understand that, and I agree, I would still say go with a commercial tire, they last an incredibly long time (was at 100K on just one set of Timblerlines, with me constantly trying to burn the rubber off, lol). The truck was rolled, no it wasn't me, and they still had alot of tread left.
