Tire help please

This probably belongs in the superduty forum but I think you need a powerstoke to understand. Its time to buy new tires. I've only got 18,000 km
on my 295/75/16 bfg allterains and they are done. Theres no way I'm running them this winter. This is my hunting/fishing/pull the skiboat to the lake \ camper hauler. Thats all it does other than the odd trip around town. I always ran siped bfg mudterains and got somewhere in the mid 20,000km tread life. Thought I'd try some allterains thinking they would last longer. No such luck. What kind of life do you guys get out of more aggresive tires. Its time to try something new. I was looking at toyo muds or maybe Dick cepek fc2. Thanks for any replys/advise.
