Default New tire choice - Help

Looking for an all terrain tire for my '07 Ram 1500 4x4. I will have the topgunz 2.5" leveling kit and 1.25" spacers from Fred Goeske. Should clear 35's without a problem. The truck is driven mostly on the highway with some mild weekend off-roading.


Here are my choices:

Dick Cepek Fun Country II 35x13.5x20

Mickey Thompson Baja ATZ 35x13.5x20

Nitto Terra-Grappler 325/60R20

BFG All Terrain TKO 325/60R20

Or any other suggestions.

I run the BFG A/T KO for the winter and love them.

I had BFG's on my Silverado and loved them as well. Of course they are the most expensive on that list. I guess I'm looking for the tire with the best combo of wet and snow traction and of course, tread life (and a nice aggressive look). The Wrangler HP's that came with the truck fail on all 3 of these points.
