I got the BFGs and they too are lasting a long time but It seems like I pick up every rock I cross, killing my paint job. No I dont want flares, and my wife would kill me if I go get the Pro-comps now......Wish I would have waited for them to restock.

The BFGs will throw pebbles for the first 500 miles or so, then they get much better.
Many of the brands mentioned probably work very well. I personally have run the BFGs for 10 years on many different trucks, and I absolutley love them. They are a great all-around tire. I haven't run a set down to needing replaced, but my buddy claims to get 50,000 miles and more out of a set.

Pro-Comp A/T and the BFGs are very quiet, and yes for the first 1,000 miles or so the BFGs threw a lot or rocks/pebbles, but I have about 85% tread left and still throwing more rocks than new Pro-Comps A/T, seams to have the same ride. But the Pro-Comp A/T are cheaper, I still have a set of old Pro-Comp Xterran in my shop, that I will be putting on as soon as I get the chance.

I know what you guys are saying....but those were the bottom of the line good years. The Silent armors are better than any BFG out there in wet traction performance.
I had a cheap set of BFGs and hated them...They sucked when new, and at 1/2 tread, they were the worst tire I've ever had!
