So what tire do you guys recommend ? I want a good A/T but I don't want it to get clogged up when I'm in the mud hunting either.

i think those were the one's that farmboy started his BS on, about paying $$$ and tipping the tire guy major bucks. haha. i think they might? be made only for walmart. they're probably fine.

let your pocketbook be your guide...

here's a good site to compare style, pricing, reviews.
don't overthink it, all of them are good, and some are just overpriced.

BFG AT's are the longest lasting tire I have ever used. I don't run them anymore though because they are aweful in mud. Anything else though, and they are awesome.

I really liked my Toyo Open Country M/Ts, but they are really heavy, and too expensive. I am currently running Goodyear Duratracs, and so far I really like them. I have had them on dry pavement, snow, ice, dirt, rain, and they have done awesome all around. Havn't had them in mud yet. I usually dislike Goodyears, but the Duratracs looked like a good cross between an all terrain and a mud terrain, so I gave them a shot. It's too early to tell yet, but they look like they might be wearing kinda fast. Hard to tell though. The only other complaint is that it took a lot of weight to balance them, but once balanced, they have been fine. I would recommend them for sure.

Ya, the General AT2 is a very similar design to the BFG AT, and i've heard good things about them I heard they are a little harder compound then the BFG AT which could be good or bad depending on what you want out of a tire.

Do they have the 3 ply sidewall like the BFG? That is one big plus about the BFG.

Idk, Ask the mfg. Sidewall doesn't matter on cheap consumer tires. You really only need to worry about that when you start getting into professional use tires.
