Mickey T's or BFG's ????

had BFG AT KO's on my F150 and really enjoyed them. I know you can get a ton of mileage out of them and they handle well while keeping the noise low, BUT I was thinking about something diffrent for the F250. I currently have brand X 315/75/16 on the truck. The wheels are staying. So the question is will the Mickey Thompson Baja ATZ give me the same life span as the BFG's? What else would you recommend?

The truck goes offroad a dozen time a year, but spends alot of time pulling boats up slippery boat ramps. I want something not to aggressive and quite on the highway. Thanks.

I ran 31x13.5 baja belteds on my F150. They were great off road, but I hated them on the highway. After them, I am very leary of mikeys on street drive apps. I have the BFG ATs on my F250, they are nice. My next set will be Toyo open country MTs.

I totally agree. I had the Baja Belted too and they weren't radials so not good on highways. MT does make a radial now but I can't say how good they are. I have the BFG AT KO's now and I love them.

Ditto what others said about the MTs. Had them, and they were loud on the street, and for me only marginally, if any, better offroad.

I have never run Mickeys, but I have run just about every other brand on my F150 and 250's. Of all of the brands I have tried, BFG All Terrains win hands down. Absolutely no comparison in durability, tread life, ride, water handling, off roading, and Highway noise. In my opinion, you CANNOT beat BFG A/T's.
