Yes, the truck is the one under my name. Don't need anything to heavy duty for payload/towing, I don't to much of either. Seems most 31's are rated for 2380 or so, which will be good enough for my needs.

I use the BFG AT good all around i only use em on the back tho cause the front end of mine eats them cause of the front suspension design (2wd) it works for me all around i just put the cap on and i can basically go anywhere i don't do serious off roading but do go off the beaten path at times and never let me down. has been great in all this snow we've been getting here lately been making it in to work and pulling people out and not had a problem with traction.

I vote for the BFG AT. Thats what I have. They are my favorite truck tire. I have run them for years and I don't have a problem with the front tires getting eaten up. If your truck is 4wd and will see alot of off road use then the MT might be a better choice.

I wonder if they changed something up front in years after mine then cause my ratio is 3:1 (3 fronts to one back) with them on the front but now i got GY's Tracker 2s on the front and it's about 1.5:1

I've got the Goodyear Wrangler Duratrac's on my truck 33x12.50x15. Love them. They are smooth quiet and have an aggressive tread to them. Get excellent traction in the snow and mud. Paid $670 installed for them.

I'm leaning Duratrac or Coopers at this point. I know the Coopers are 700 and tax, but I'd have to drop the rims off and pick them up...something hard to do without a truck....since they won't mount 'oversized' tires on anything. More I read on the Duratracs, the more I like them. Seems like a good tire with an aggressive look.

BFG's were my choice going in, but the more I think about it, the more I think it's best to choose the best snow type tire because I want my fiance to have no problems driving it. Thinking the Duratecs might be the better tire for that, but still haven't priced out the Duratecs's though.
Truck was supposed to be back from the body shop today, now it's early next week, so have a bit more time to research.

I personally think Dura Tracs are the best. Put them on my truck yesterday w/ some new wheels. I had BFG ATs before. Great tires but I wanted something more aggresive. Dura Tracs are rated great for rain/snow....and that's what I mainly use them for

They caught my eye at the store but I didn't really look give them any consideration. It wasn't until 94Mustang mentioned the ratings that I took a closer look. Now I can't find anything bad about them and they are probably a bit cheaper then BFG's.
Liked your truck RAF, really like the blackwalls with the rims. Probably do the same since the script on the side in a white outline seems too distracting.
And thanks to all for the comments and ideas. I wasn't sure and the help is appreciated.
