I like the BFG AT's as well. I am gonna look into getting a set for my truck. I also like the Firestone Transforce. I have those on my Suburban. We use the transforce at work on all our ambulances and one ton brush trucks. They are put to the test every day and they preform well! I think the transforce is a 10 ply? I will go with eather the BFG's or the Transforce.

Im not a fan of the AT, they clog up too quick in a little mud. I prefer the BFG Mud Terrain KM. I have them on my Jeep I take everywhere.  :hello:

I ended up putting the Firestone Transforce on my rig. They look good, and should do a great job!

I just put Toyo M/T 295/75 R17 on my 05 Dodge. From what I hear I will like them.
I have the same exact tires on my 03 Dodge.  I like them alot and they are not overly loud either.

BFG AT KO's.  75k on a 97 taco 4x4- these replaced the factory tires.  Still a lot of tread left, but I'm due.  Only stuck once- slid off the trail into the ditch in the snow.  (would like to blame the tires.. but... buddies say driver error   :rolleyes:)

Snow is my determinig factor.  I recently went to both Les Schwab and Discount who told me to stay away from mud terrains   :dunno: They said big lugs = hockey pucks on compact snow, and wont ride on top of new snow very well...forcing you to power/chew through- which might be fun but not that safe.

They both told me A/Ts perform much better in fresh and compact snow - they are snow rated.

For the record- I wanted a M/T (bfg or toyo)- came in last month looking to buy some bigger more aggressive (yeah... and cool looking) tires.  I gave them every chance to sell me a more expensive tire in a M/T... but they both kept steering me away from the M/T's ... unless (they said) I was going to be wheelin' or finding myself in deep mud- which I haven't had issues with in the past 10 years.  The dumps of 1-2 feet of snow in Nov. is when it gets sketchy for me.

Haven't bought yet... so interested in more snow opinions too.

Dansk, (as I stated earlier) the MT's worked pretty good for me this past season in a bit of snow. I still may get them siped for the ice, didnt even break out my studded tires last year...  Any snomobilers pulling trailers with the MT's?
