BFG AT or better

I've been running BFG all terrains for the past couple years and It's about time for new ones.
I will go back with these unless I run across something better in the same or less price range.

Any suggestions?

Tires

I have General Grabbers AT2's on my F250. Love them so far. Had them on all winter up here in Michigan. No problems with light or deep snow. Had no problem with them pulling a snowmobile trailer in an icing road conditions. They also performed well in mud/clay during the hunting season. I was very impressed with these ans the price was right. $ 118 each from Tire Rack. I am looking at these for my wifes Jeep Liberty. I currently have Bregestone Revo's or her Lib. They are alos very impressive on hers but they are $165 each. $$$$ might talk here when I replace her tires this fall.
Oh and the Generals are great in the heavy rain's we are having up here this week. I say look at these on the Tire Rack site.

I switched from BFG AT KO's over to Kumho AT KL78's. Kumho's were much much cheaper, have performed better in the snow than the BFG's, and so far are holding up much better. I've got 23K miles on this set so far, and they still look new. 50K+ miles should be really easy to reach.

As for the BFG's, I've had mixed results. My first set of BFG's on this truck lasted 55K miles. The last set was yanked out at 25K miles. That last set of BFG's were wearing super fast (even with proper rotation and pressure), and one tire was splitting. On top of that, BFG gave me terrible customer service when I was trying to resolve the problem. I'm pretty much done with BFG after the hassles and money wasted.

My next set of tires will be BFG A/Ts. The General Grabber AT2s are nice tires also sort of a BFG A/T knockoff.

I've got BFG AT's 10 ply, and they are about 1/2 way in two years, so far they've been a good tire. No complaints from me but being expensive.

BFG AT's are hard to beat. Another good tire is the Goodyear Wrangler Silent Armor. Kinda pricey like the BFG, though.

I went from 265/75/16 bfg at on my last truck and they are a good all around tire good wet/snow and light mud tire that isn't noisy on the road to a 315/70/16 goodyear mtr....... Night and day difference in the mud or dirt it was like comparing a shovel to a back hoe. The mtr was louder on road and lacked wet weather performance but they looked great and wore great I was impressed. I haven't run mud tires on my psd yet but they are in the running with the bfg ko, bfg km and the couriser ct. All four of the tires are at or better and look like a fairly aggressive tires.

I just put Bridgestone Revo A/T's on my dually yesterday. Replaced the original ContiTracs at 13K miles. You can tell the improvement while still in the parking lot.
I vote that you get the best tire you can, your life depends on it, literally.

If they seem pricey, just think how you would feel if you had to buy 6 of them!!

I'm on my second set of BFG A/Ts and they're awesome!! They really grip the road well and no matter how I try sometimes, can't get them to slip much in the rain.

Same goes for mudding, I got into some deep, slippery caly/mud, and with a little "flooring" the BFGs dug me right out. Looking forward to my third set...
