First off, what do you use your truck for, and how much ice will it see? Mud? Rain? Sand? Snow?
Do you haul loads and/or tow? Offroad?

Well I probably don't see as much as I used to so that's why I 'm considering the BF Goodrich TA ko's .
I do get into slippery conditions when I'm pushing snow and when I do go wheelin.
I also enjoy entering my truck in the tractor pulls .
This will be a whole new thing since I got a diesel now.
Hauling loaded I doubt I need a E rated tire ,but it probably wouldn't hurt.

How's the wear on the GoodYear's?
I'm thinkin that the GoodYear's would go to waste on my truck.
I love the tread pattern they have , just not sure I would use them enuff
to justify the price.

Glad to see you were not considering NITTO TERRAGRAPPLERS......the absolute worst tire I have ever had...I would go with the BFGs I had about 60K on the 31s I had on my old Suburban.

Pro comp Xtreme AT's have served me well, suprised me in how well it grips and how long it's lasting. over in the CTD I posted a tread on them... with pics in post #18... https://dodgeforum.com/m_683239/tm.htm

I believe they are also making an MT version of this tire which could be a winner. My general opinion of Pro-comp tireswas that they suck, dont hold their balance well and wear fast. These however (new tire) have proven to be much better than the old ones and I recommend them. I currently have about 30k on them and they have lots of life left in them.
