Default What tire is best

OK, now here is the million dollar question. Going to be buying som new tires for my 06 2500 4 X 4 QC, I do not do a bunch of four wheeling but do get off road very now and then. Looking for a tire that will go down the highway without too much added noise and will wok well in the snow, not too worried about mud.

I narrowed it down to two tires. One being the 315/70-17 Goodyear Wranglr AT Extreme an the other being a 315/70-17 BF Goodrich All Terrain T/A KO.

I have always been a fan of Goodyear tires, andthe Goodyears will cost me about $200.00 less for the set, from my research it is a pretty hard call to pay $200.00 more for th et of BFG's, are they that much better of a tire?

Any input would be appreciated.

I have run about 5-6 sets of the BFG A/Ts on my previous trucks. Ican't thing of a bad thing to sayabout them. They work well on the road and I've never had a problem in the dirt, sand, mud, or snow. They clean very well IMO. They also lasted a looong time when I took care of them (rotation, proper inflation, etc..) I don't know anything about the Goodyear AT Extremes though, I've never run them... I do know alot of people running Goodyear MTRs that swear by them for offroad purposes. Goodyear definitely makes some good tires. You have a tough choice.[/align][/align]Here's a comparison on tirerack.com. It's lacking data on the Goodyear's, but there is a little info.[/align]

I've got the BF Goodrich on my truck and I love them. They wear very well and they look good. They have good traction in the snow and are quiet on the road.

Goodyear makes some good tires and some very bad tires...

I would go with the BFG AT's forthose requirements. But stay away from the BFG "Rugged Trail" P.O.S. tires. Pure crap, cheap junk.
