Unless you are going to do 90% offroading and 10% on road, I would say go with a BFG agressive all terrain. Those tires won't last very long on the streets, nor will they brake well or drive in rain well on the streets. Check these out:

I use them with a size of 33x12.5x15 and not only are they incredible offroad tires, but are very streetable.

By the way, your signature is halarious.

I don't know what kind of BFG's you were using prior, but the T/A KO's are unbelievable in the mud.

Heard these are very comparable and you can save 40-60 bucks per tire...

I'm not a big fan of the general grabbers. I would go with the BFG T/A KO. thats what I'll be buying in the summer when the 99 comes back out.

I have michelin LTX on my truck and they suck.[:'(]

It gets down to what you use them for, I just bought Jetzon trailcutters for mine 123.00 a tire they looked like a good mix of m/t and a/t. I was able to get 50k out of the wrangler rts and 52k out of the donlap rovers ats. the donlaps didnt do really well in mud, the wranglers were ok. I have m/ts on my 94 wrangler and i use it for fun and their great in mud but loud on street. those tires are really loud but great in mud . so it all depends on what you do most.
