Looking for a Tire
So here the deal. I currently living in the Seattle area and I am running Les Schwab Mud Terrain SXT (315/75R16) tire. I can't say enough good things about these tires. I am a Navy guy and I will be moving to Texas. Les Schwab tire are not available down there and I need to purchase a full size spare before I make the trip. I am looking at other brands so that when it is time to replace them, I can get a five tire rotation going. I was thinking about the BFGoodrich A/T KO. What do you all think?

You can purchase other brands at a Les Schwab store (like Avon) but a Schwab tire is made on Prineville at the tire plant.

Maybe the OP is referencing a different M/T SXT?

Cooper makes tires sold by Les Schwab, but I don't know if they are Les Scwab branded. I was looking at a tire, sold at Wal-Mart, Big-O, and Schwab and they were all made by Cooper. I think it was a Big-O Bigfoot MT or something, but I can't remember now. Anyway, Cooper made the same tire for multiple vendors, branded with that vendor's name. I think Schwab was one of them...
