I really like those BFG all terrain. Aggressive tread, but not too noisy on the road, and they last a long time.

^Is that a joke? Wasn't there the biggest fight about how bad BFG A/T's were in the 4x4 section?

I'm pretty sure there's a huge (multiple page) thread where everyone is bashing one guy for liking BFG A/T's. It's in the 4x4 section.

I have no experience with them, really, so I don't know.

I can't seem to find that thread down there, but no joke, I really like mine and a lot of people I know like them too.

Ok, I'm not downing them or anything. Just that thread turned me away from them. I won't say anything else unless I find that thread, since I have no real life input.

we have bfg at's on our 08 2500 dodge short bed. it doesn't do great in the snow. had to add 240lbs of sand in the bed ontop of or usual complement of tools, not to mention the high rise fiberglass cap that weights a ton.

All of the local Wally Worlds are selling Goodyear Wranglers (235x75x15) for $65.00. Hard to beat that price anywhere! I got four new ones on mine.

Wranglers are horrible. They are some of the worse tires becuaese of difficulty with them hydroplaning. We wont even install them at our shop anymore. Theres a reason why Goodyear has stopped making them. BFG A/T are the way to go in my opinion. I live in MN for school so I deal with alot of snow and alot of crappy weather conditions and only have two wheel drive on my 94 F150 and have yet to get stuck. Put some weight in the back and you will be good to go as long as you dont plan on going mudding.
