I am running the BFG M/T's The wider lugs the better for mud traction. But the other driving conditions suffer. Seen in a mag that did ratings and the M/T was the better of the ones tested for the "soup run". They also noted that there is no siping for rain. With the last days of rain and tornados here I have noticed that I do spin the tires abit more. They also said that the snow traction will suffer because the best tractioin for snow is snow. I guess that makes sense, when walking on snow with the army boots, I slip less when the treads are full of snow. Here are a couple of pics of the truck with the tires.

i would go with the bfgoodrich, because the swamper are a bias ply which off road are awsome. on road they howl, pull, and would probly decrease gas milage

BFG M/T all the way ! Improved traction inthe dirt sand and mud, Compaired with the A/T. Depending on which type of driving conditions make your decision on BFG all the way

MT/R's are a great tire. Good on the road, and good off-road traction, and not too loud at all on-road. BFG AT's aren't that good in the mud, takes some wheel spin to keep them cleaned out. MT's aren't that good in the rain. Swamper TSL's suck bad in the sand, are loud, but work ok in the mud.
