Bill, what General tires did you run on the Bull and did you like them? Looking at options/opinions for the replacement sneaks for my truck.

Neil - I ran the Grabber AT2 on it when I first lifted it. A really good general use tire, IMO. I thought they did well in all conditions that I ran it in and wore well. I'm also a fan of the Mastercraft AXT as well, which I run on the diesel at the moment - another good quiet all-terrain tire that has performed well and worn well for me, especially on a really heavy truck.

Well, if you're just putzing around town, you don't need million dollar tires.

Steve, not in the market right now. My wife told me that I need to wear the ones that are currently on it out first. I think that some new sneaks will be coming next spring but it never hurts to do my research now.

Don has been running the Grabber AT2's on his SD and he likes them. I was looking at them at the garage when I had the Edge in a few weeks ago for the sticky caliper slides. I currently have Cooper Discoverer CTS tires on it. It will be interesting to see how they are in the snow. I have noticed a few times when I step on the gas starting out from a stop, these tend to spin on wet roads even though they are an AT tire. They are not too aggressive, more towards a highway tire IMO.
I ran Coopers Discoverer AT's on the old one too and liked them, so Mastercraft tires make a logical choice seeing that they are made by Cooper. Here is what the CTS tires look like.

i've always liked coopers. reasonably priced and useful.

i spent about $320 for those four tires installed and balanced. pretty good, i thought.

Steve, that is a good price for those tires mounted and balanced. I know that I am going to be in the $160-$200 range per tire for what I am looking at.

Your's are also probably 15 or 16" rim. Neil probably needs 17 which increases price pretty good. That price you got is really good
