Looking for a Tire
So here the deal. I currently living in the Seattle area and I am running Les Schwab Mud Terrain SXT (315/75R16) tire. I can't say enough good things about these tires
. I am a Navy guy and I will be moving to Texas. Les Schwab tire are not available down there and I need to purchase a full size spare before I make the trip. I am looking at other brands so that when it is time to replace them, I can get a five tire rotation going. I was thinking about the BFGoodrich A/T KO. What do you all think?

You can purchase other brands at a Les Schwab store (like Avon) but a Schwab tire is made on Prineville at the tire plant.

The BFG A/T KO would be a good choice. You'll get a lot of miles out of 'em and you can find them at just about any tire shop in the country.

Maybe the OP is referencing a different M/T SXT?

Cooper makes tires sold by Les Schwab, but I don't know if they are Les Scwab branded. I was looking at a tire, sold at Wal-Mart, Big-O, and Schwab and they were all made by Cooper. I think it was a Big-O Bigfoot MT or something, but I can't remember now. Anyway, Cooper made the same tire for multiple vendors, branded with that vendor's name. I think Schwab was one of them...

I checked out the Coopers, Dean, BFG, Big O, Discount Tire, ect.. It looks like the BFG will be the only one easily accessible in the Dallas area. Does anyone have the new BFG Mud Terrain T/A KM2. I use my truck as a daily driver, pull a 20' boat with it but like to go play as well.
