yeah, my BFG All Terrains are amazing tires, love them, on and off the road, they make a little bit of noise, but if you listen to the radio, even at low volume you shouldn't hear them. In the rain and snow they definitely perform, especially the rain. My experience was that they just grabbed the road in the rain, didn't slip or spin at all.

my stockers are getting thin, i could squueze some time out of them at 30k miles however they are almost ready.

I had 16s for both my 01' and my 06'.
Take a look at the Tire Rack and review the Firestone Destination AT, it has great reviews and comes in 17" in your size. I think you would like it based on what you say you need.

Mine came on my truck stock because of the package I got. I am running 265/75/16. The closest size you are going to get with a 17 inch wheel is a 265/70/17 which is about an inch taller than stock.

If I had your tire size I would go with either BFG Rugged Trail T/A or the Yokohama Geolandar A/T-S. If you want more of a luxury all-season tire I would go with the Continental ContiCrossContact LX.

Dont mind the rust on the rotors, the tires were sitting for 11 days, without me driving it, in three feet of snow... so they got rusted...
