I'm thinking about the Goodyear Kevlar Mud and Snow tire when I have to replace mine.

I don't personally know a person that has a single complaint with bfg at's except price. Never had a complaint with them either.

Sold my dad on a set of duratracs for his duramax, they have been ok, but dad isn't so wild about them because with about 5k miles he got a flat... not to many tires will stop a 20 penny nail... Some people have unreal expectations, some people have bad luck and get a flat on a good set of tires early on that would flatten any tire on the market and it leaves a bad taste in their mouth.

Rotating your tires will greatly prolong the life of your tire. If your going to be going off road get a E range tire.

Michelin LTX M/S is the only tire I use now. I typically get 75 to 100k out of 'em.


Friend, I wouldn't harm thee for all the world, but thou art standing where I am about to shoot.

My uncle runs them on a 12 valve cummins 2wd and says he has gotten at least 90k out of his last 3 sets.

Just changed out my Michelin AT for a set of Cooper AT3's. My mileage went down but I now have a set of true AT's

I have a Ram1500 4x4, I'm on my third set or tires...Here is my opinion on what I've tried:

toyo m/t's, 35x12.5x20: heaviest tire I've ever experienced...do not recommend them. For a m/t, I was not impressed at all.
Next up was 35x12.5x20 Pro Comp extreme A/T. I got these more for highway, and had read that they were decent in the mud. Wrong, got stuck in my YARD!! lol That was in East Texas Red Clay, but still embarrassing! LOL
I am currently running 35x12.5x18 Kumho KL71 m/t on new Black RBP R94 wheels...I got the tires at Tire Rack for $1200! ALL 4!! Extra for mounting but for what I paid for them would have covered only 2-3 tires of the other sets of Toyo and Pro Comps. They are "D" rated compared to the others "E" rating. Much better ride! AND So far they are quite on the street, look mean as hell, aggressive treads. I have not gotten them in the mud just yet, but I think they will perform good enough for deer season?! From what I read, they do wear fast, but at that price...If I can get 3 years out of them, I win IMO!
Best of Luck!

So, the toyos were too heavy for you so they sucked. Then you got pro comp mud terrains to drive on the highway, but they got you stuck one time so they suck too. And now, you're driving on cheap tires ($1200 plus mounting), look cool, and are quiet so they're super awesome? Makes sense...

FYI I got my 35x12.5x17 Toyo MT's for $1415 out the door, as of today they have 32k on them with a lot of that pulling a gooseneck and I'm betting I'll squeeze 40k out of em

I've been impressed with Duratacs, I have poked a hole in them once and got a slow leak once but for a AT they're a great tire.

Price wise I love my Jeep. I bought 5 35s a few months back and paid less than I did for 4 on my truck. 15" wheel is a lot cheaper than 18"

BFG all terrain T/As. I've run 5 sets and fixing to buy my 6th set. NEVER get less than 55k out of them and have only had 2 flats in all 5 sets and I run over mesquites all the time. The current set on the wife's Tacoma has 63k miles on them and will probably make another 5k before replacement.
