Yup, I have to agree with Hanson [:@]. My last 4 sets of tires spanning 3 trucks have been either Mickey Thompson's or Dick Cepek's (and MT owns DC). Might I suggest Mickey ATZ's in an AT or MTZ's in a MT. Baja Claws for extreme off-roading. I chose the Dick Cepek Fun Country II's. They are marketed as a cross between an A/T and M/T, which is about right. Very good off road while not too noisy and handle great on pavement. They all seem to wear like iron.

After some research and reading on this forum i tried these:

http://www.tirerack.com/tires/tires....e1=yes&place=3

I must say, i love them, very quiet and a great ride. Did very well off road in the creek and in the mud and rocks as i get ready for deer season. Can't wait to try them in the snow. Great ride on the highway at 80+ and don't look bad at all on the truck.

Good tire so far, we will see how they go this winter.

i was kinda looking at them ill have to price those out and see what i can get them for and if they are hard to get a hold of. i guess bfg a/t's are hard to get in a decent size. must not be able to make em quick enough. oh and nice rims man i just bought 4 of those for 250 bucks can't wait to put them on. also might price out the nitto terra grappler. haven't heard any complaints with those yet. thanks guys.
