I have had 2 sets of the BFG A/Ts (31x10.5 and 35x12.5) and have not cared for them at all. The set on my old dakota and one on the ram was the only brand choice for 16.5 rims. The traction in the snow is terrible, then again being 12.5 wide its a bad choice for snow anyway. Now i had a offbrand set for my dakota that was Wildspirit A/Ts (32x11.5) and they performed great. My overall thought is that for the BFGs your paying for the name, not performance.

If there is anyplace that sells Grabbers for cheaper, let me know guys.
walmart is selling them for a great price go for it they wont be cheper anywhere else as for installing and balancing they are usualy 20 a tire

my 265/75/17s on my 11 ram was 1250 installed (cheapest in canada) so your getting a deal

My 2 cents, have a set of cooper discoverers st-c with the chip resistance. Not sure how much I'm going to test the chip resistance of it but it's a peace of mind. These tired are awesome so far, better than my old Goodrich's

Sounds good sir, just remember you wont get the life out of the mud claws as you will the generals. May be cheaper in the long run to go with the general. I ran delta sierradials which are an all terrain and never had any issue in anything with them, even with one having a broken belt. I only switched to the trail digger because im selling my truck and my old tires wouldnt pass safety.

Have you looked at the Cooper Zeon LTZ's yet? I just ordered them and did alot of review reading. The majority of what I read, everyone spoke highly of them.. do a quick google on them and spend an hour or so...pretty reasonably priced too....here are some quick reviews...
dirtydog from the 3rd gen did this one

Yeah i know, but i don't drive alot even though i drive everyday. I drive from school to work to town/home everyday. I know I'm under 6,000 miles a year so hopefully they last me a few years if I'm lucky. I'll probably be getting them this Friday so I'll post some pictures of them on there when i do.

Yeah they do look like some nice tires. But I don't think i can afford all 4 of them and then taking them somewhere to get them mounted. Alot of places won't mount your tires on the wheels around here unless you buy the tires directly from them.

I had the Zeon LTZ's before they were even offered in something smaller than a 20 inch rim. I got mine for super cheap and I loved them... Now that they offer different rim sizes their prices shot up like a rocket.
