Exclamation Best Overall Tire?

From experience and from what you know. rate the best overall tire, in three different categories: performance, price and durability. just want to see what people say.

My vote goes to BF Goodrich All Terrain T/A....i have them on my jeep and they have been very good to me, and they were only 50% when i got the vehicle. Ive put many miles on them too and they have really surprised me on longevity.

Performance for what? Over all? Well, tires either suck on road, do really well off-road, or kinda suck at both.

Do a search man. I can only imagine this on Pirate

Personally, I really like the Cooper Discoverer M/Ts......they are a good aggressive tire, not bad for mud use, really good for trails, not bad in snow and ice....wear one general 50,000+ miles.....don't know how for certain, but usually the guys with fullsize rigs around here say they're only getting around 30,000 miles with their Toyo M/Ts(not bad talking them, so lets not start this argument)......on the bad side, they are a bit expensive, at the tire store here, for 35/12.50s, theyre about $1500

You could get buckshot mudders for half that, and get over half the life of those, which will mean better trail/offroad performance

I have a set of 33x12.50 Kuhmo Venture Road Venture MT. They have the same tread pattern as bfg mud terrains. I bought them with 1,000 miles, and have about 40,000 on them, with half tread left. Double sidewalled. Really good tires for $130 a peice for 33x12.50x15r. Do pretty good in the mud, I dont do much, mostly on the road. Even wear ect. Only bad thing is the HUMMMING. They are pretty loud..

someone need to come up with a tire that operates like a blowfish!!!! smooth riding long lasting street tire and press a button and then you got a full traction cut bogger!!! kind of like an air locker in a way to air activate the bogger tread to engage.!
