RE: Need tire help
I think I'm going to go with the Pro Comp 305/65/17's ATExtreme's. It's the same style tire as Steve has and he's off road pretty often in both mud and snow and hasn't compllained yet. As a matter of fact, the only thing he said that they didn't do well on was ice, but then again what DOES do well on ice? I tow, but not at great distances or that often ( weekend warrior ). I was thinkng about going with Pro Comps regular AT's, but I like the aggresive tread pattern of the extremes.
Cowboy Bob tows. I wonder what tires he's running?

My opinion of the bfgs (that are on my truck) are Just Say No!!! They suck, and when you think they can not suck anymore, they prove you wrong. I have bad wet raod manners. I do nto feel very confortable off road with them. I just can not justify changing them until they wear out.

)Mike, I got the BFG A/T KO's in 285/75-16 (E) and thus far I love 'em... that being said, the Pro-Comps are indeed a good tire and were my second choice. Either would do you well.

I been reading Steve'sposts and it sounds like his Procomps are wearing great, but I don't think he tows so I'm wondering how towing would affect the mileage. I've also been reading your posts, your trying to decide on tires also and you have a trailer so I'm very interested to see which way you go. For the past week we've been getting alot of snow, at least around my place, I live at the base of Mt Hood in Oregon. I'm sure Lilfroger has heard of it. With my crappy Michelin tires (265/70/17) I slid off of a private road and into a field fence. [sm=yikesomg.gif]Luckly only a couple of scratches, but it time to get new tires before I really do damage. I really need help!

So far, I haven't heard one single complaint about Pro Comps. As a matter of fact, Steve just got 70K out of his.

I have towed a few times, just not regularly.
