I've had both the BFG A/T KO2s and the Cooper Discoverer A/T3s. Currently I have the Coopers, and I'm on the fence about getting another set, going back to the BFGs, or going to the General Grabbers. I have plowed with both sets on my truck, and have had good experiences with both. The Coopers were not good in this last Feb blizzard we had, but they were also fairly worn (not down to wear bars, but with over 40k miles on them, they were certainly down to the last 25% or so). I found that for both sets of tires, when they were getting worn (say about 40% tread left, give or take), they weren't suited for deep snow and/or plowing efficiently. Otherwise, I certainly liked both sets of tires. The Coopers are much more quiet on the road and I think a little better on wet pavement.

I ran the BFG and the general AT2
I love my toyo's
I kick myself in the *** for not listening too some of my customers . I always assumed they were made in Japan ; but they are not . Made rite here in USA.
Toyo open country AT2 extream they also give a 45k warranted .
Coppers I never liked the quality . Toyo does have another in between tire called the open toed RT rough terrain . The pictures don't do the toyo justice . When they showed up I was glad I didn't get the RT . Meaning they were already way more aggressive than the general AT2 and way more than the BFG .
The truck drives better than ever . I still can't believe it .

What did it take to get that ASE cert at 13 years old?

Not to hijack the thread but, death wobble is mostly attributed to the coil sprung trucks. Before you go spend money on an adjustable track bar, I would recommend that you thoroughly vet all of the steering components first. Check the drag link and tie rod ends, the pitman arm nut torque (should be at 200 ftlbs), steering gear play, ball joints and hub assembly, and all bushings in the springs and track bar. This won't cost you anything more than an afternoon and will probably steer (pun intended) you in the right direction. From what I have found on different sites and threads, death wobble (again on the coil sprung trucks) is usually dealt with (notice I didn't say cured) by adding a steering stabilizer or camber adjustments.

I had Toyo Open Country M/T's on my F-150. I've got Toyo Open Country AT II's on my current truck. On a previous 2WD truck I had some Toyo road tires and they were quiet, got good traction and rode smooth as hell.

I'm a big fan of Toyo's.
