My buddy has the guard dogs on his 03 and they're hardly wearing at all. They do ok in the mud but they will clog up in the thicker stuff.

 

Would the guard dogs be okay as DD's though? Or would the wardens/bfgat be better? I see alot of snow here, but mud and off road too, and lorded highway to

 

*Lots of highway too

 

Have had very good success with BFG A/T's. They last for quite a while, good all around as the name would suggest. Definitely are not cheap if you are trying to get something cheaper than the Duratacs. They wear a little slower than do Duratacs, though. I have 285/75/16 BFG AT's and it does take away a little of your power. Not huge, but you can for sure tell a difference.

 

He DD's with his and you can hardly tell they're wearing.

 

I'll be ordering the Wardens in 245/75/16 tomarrow. Probably order the Gaurd Dogs in 285/75/16 come spring for the summer. Spoke with them the other day and they recommend the Wardens for plowing, hauling, and towing. But I like the look of the Gaurd Dogs better, so I'm saving them for summer. The price was the biggest selling point for me. Have Nitto Terra Grapplers now. 1) I hate them, 2) $800 and change and the only lasted 1 year. I figure if I can get 1 year out of each set I'll be 2 years on only a little more cash.

 

Kind of off topic, but would these be worth the money?

Considering the wheels are worth more than what he is asking, I would say yes.

 

I'd get on that, +1 on the rims being worth that much, with 70% tires, that's quite the bonus.

 

EDIT: Placed my order today and they told me the tires were in stock but it would be 5-6 days for processing before they shipped. So, after some thought, order is getting cancelled tomarrow cuz I just ordered a set from tirerack (be here by Tuesday). My current tires are shot. Basically, I won't be able to give my 2 cents on them till spring.
