Question Best 35" tire?

I am going to level mine and put 35's on it. i thought i would ask you guys that have already done this which brand/tire your running, why you like them and why you don't. i have a tire in mind that i intend to run on mine. Dick Cepek Radial F-C II or the BFGoodrich All-Terrain T/A KO.. the dick cepek are supposed to be an all around good tire and just a little more agressive than the BFG. i am 80-20 right now for the Cepek tires... TIA

I had the old style BFG A/T's and they lasted 50,000 miles or so. They are a very good all around tire with one exception. The old style was not so good in mud.

I looked at both of those and ended up going with the Pro Comp Xtreme A/T. All reviews i've read were awesome both for tread life and drive-ability on highway. Plus the price was much better especially with the buy 3 get one free sale which is on now and I love the tread design.

The Yokohama AT/S all terrains are nice.... I've got 35 x 12.5's on my truck..... good tread and aggressive side wall.... best of all, only about 175 a tire from tirerack.com

is your truck lifted/leveled? i see you actually go off road! do you get any rubbing while mudding? those tires are half what i planned on spending. will have to check them out!

edit: just looked, they dont have the Yokohama 35X12.50 R20... i'm pretty sure i am going to keep the 20" rims so guess i have to fork out some extra $$$$$$!

Yeah, they're only available on 17"s ... I don't have a lift or an additional leveling. VERY minimal rubbing during sharp turns. As a matter of fact, I think it's just rubbing on my mud flaps.

keep in mind that he's running 35x12.50 on a TRX4 and has the additional 1" lift stock.
