Question which tire??

Does any one know about the procomp x terrain tires. I've read some articles and think they look good for on and off road use. the other tires being considered are BFG AT or BFG MT

any suggestions on a good on and off road tire? I drive about 70% road and 30% dirt/mud.

I have heard and seen good results from Dunlop Radial Rover RVs. They are a bit more aggressive than BFG ATs, and less expensive. I am running Sport King ATs on my 84, they work excellent in all conditions mud sand snow...everything; their only down fall is they are a bit noisy on the road.

I second the BFG MTs. I got about 45000 miles out of my last set and have about 3000 miles on my new set. I love them.

try the Kumho venture MT's they look just like the bfg MT's but at half the cost. my buddy has put 50,000+ miles on his set with nice wear results. they do great off-road, i will be buying a set soon for my truck.

I would never buy Goodyear again. The one and only set I ever bought, Goodyear would not stand behind their warranty.

My personal favourites are General Grabber AP's. I know, i know, they are not knarly mud tires, but they are without a doubt the best set of all purpose tires i have ever put on a truck.

Ok not to hi-jack the thread but kinda to continue it. Im looking for cheap, good (I know they don't go together) mud/off road tires. I don't need boggers or super swampers... nothin like that. Things running along the lines of BFG MT's (which I would get but in no way could afford. A certian jeff foxworthy joke about the tired on your truck costing more than your truck comes to mind) I DO NOT CARE how loud they are........ for any reason....... in fact hell the louder the better man! (not that they would hear it over the engine..........) -myers

I have seen those kumho tires they look like they would do pretty good. I like my Sport Kings personally, got a set of 31x10.50s for less than 400 bucks

Those PC tires will wear really fast iof driven on the street. They are made from a softer compound. If you want any kind of mileage at all.....go with BFG MT's.
