Ive never see them for sale anywhere. Best bet would be to come up with your own design and have a friend or someone make it if you dont have a welder,tubing bender/know how to weld. My front and rear bumpers on my dodge ram are homemade and I love them. The steel tubing I got for 75.00 so really thats all my front and rear bumpers cost

Good look, not to loud, great handling / gas mileage, they're good in snow, mud, dirt, whatever, and if you rotate them every oil change they'll last for a minimum of 50,000 miles (that's what they're warranteed for). But a guy I know has over 70000 on the same tires, and they're still good.
Good ol' tres rios. Ill be taking a class there over the summer.

You remember how much the bfg's were a piece?

Its really going to depend where you live and where you go. Best bet is to call around and get prices.

I looked around a little bit and I think they are fairly expensive... My father gets a decent deal through work on Cooper Discoverer ATR the all terrian one from Cooper. And hes been using them for years and have always been a good tire so I might just go with those.

They're usually about $135 a tire for 31x1050. Coopers Discoverers are ok just not as tough. BFG just makes such a quality tire, they're worth the extra 20-30 per tire.

My father has used the coopers for a long time because he gets a good deal on them and they have always lasted a good amount of time plus I think he gets them for less than $100 a piece and considering how much money I don't have, I might just get those.

Well if you get a deal for less than 100 a piece, definitely buy those. My buddy has the discoverer mt's on his dak, they're pretty good. Don't know anything about the ATs though.
