+2 on the treadwright retreads. 480$ shipped to the door, 2-3k miles later, and haven't had any problems and show no signs on wear.
Not bad, if you want to save money.

The Treadwright A/T's are pretty good on ice too. I've got a few thousand miles on mine and they don't seem to have lost any tread (I need to check them with a depth gauge).
They are half the price of a new tire too.

I had BFG AT 35's on my truck.
They lasted 50,000 + miles. ( 90 % on-road )
I just purchased a set of new tires and was going to go with the same BFG's ( AT ), but did a lot of looking at tire reveiws on line and I made a switch.
I went Goodyear MTR kevlars ( 35 X 12.50 ).
On all of the reveiws, the Goodyears beat the BFG AT's in eveything but tread life. The BFG was rated a 3.8 out of a 5 and the Goodyear was rated a 3.6 out of a 5.
Goodyears beat the BFG's in dry pavement, wet pavement, snow, ice, and mud.
I am 3000 miles into these tires and really like them so far.
They are very, very quite for the agressive tread design. Not much louder then the BFG AT's.
I also dropped down years ago when I lifted the truck to 15" rims.
I got the Gooyear MTR Kevlars ( 35 X 12.50 X 15 ) for $225.00 ea installed and Goodyear had a $80.00 rebate going on, so that's $205.00 a tire.

Do not get MTs if you plan to drive on ice, they just don't dig into ice enough to provide any traction. Also MTs usually don't much more than 20k miles. Get ATs, my 2 cents
