I used to put the BFG's on all my rigs (see signature) so I am pretty familiar with them. I honestly believe they were the best on the planet until about 3-4 years ago, I got a set of 35" and 3 of them had a run-out over the acceptable limit so they replaced them and I never could keep them balanced and the tire place told me they have had numerous problems keeping them balanced on other trucks. After 6 months and 7 new tires I had them replace them with the Toyo's and WOW what a difference. I don't think I will put new tires on my truck without at least considering them also.....

I'm w/ Enomra here. I've got 315/75R16 Toyo M/T's, and after having these, I'll never own another tire on a my SD. They are all that. I've got over 10,000 on them and they hardly look worn. BTW, I've rotated them twice.

I'd question anyone that says these things don't perform in the snow. Are you sure you were researchig the M/T's and not the A/T's? The A/T's look like glorified street tires.
Their is a user on here, Sockeye Sam or something like that, has a set of M/T's on his new 08 and he's in Alaska.
Also I've heard good things about the Kumho's too, so I'd be curious if you go that route, what your impression is of those.
Good Luck whatever you do....

We didn't have alot of snow this year, but what we got, I rolled right thru like it wasn't even there. We got one really good storm, late in the season, that was 6" of snow along w/ about 4" of ice and I went like hell thru all of it. No squirmy feeling, no questionable traction, just digging in and cruising.

I have the 35x12.5r20 Toyo Open Country Mt's on my truck and I though they did very well in the snow over the winter. We don't get quite as much snow as you do up there, but we did have a few 6-12" storms here in Peoria this past winter. They weren't the greatest on ice, but weren't terrible either. But in snow or slush they did great.
