I have the Nitto Terra Grapplers (LT295/70R18) on my Tundra. Basically a 35x12x18 and they work great. Nice and quiet and work great in mud, snow, and rain. They don't fair to well on ice though. Got them for well under a $1000 and got Discount Tires to price match an ad I brought in. I ran Mickey Thompson ATZs before that and really liked that tire.

My only complaint with the Nitto Mt's are the noise, I have gotten great mileage out of them, over 50,000 so far believe it or not.  But the noise they give me is insane! The noise is my only complaint with the MT's, they kick butt in the snow as well as getting great miles out of them.

www.discounttiresonline.com will beat the pants off of any Schwabs pricing, if they carry the same brands. That's who I buy my tires from.

I don't understand the affinity there is for Schwab.  Shop around, there are a lot better prices out there if you compare apples to apples.  Service at most places is comparable too.  Costco, Walmart, Sears, Discount, and even smaller shops will beet the tar out of Schwab's prices.

I have 35x12.5x17 STT's on my Powerstroke.  I like the traction and road noise is fine for a mud tire.  I do think the BFG's I have run in the past seemed to last longer though, with great traction.  There were no BFG Mud Terrains available the last time I needed tires for the truck, so went STT.  All the sets of BFG's I have run have made 70K miles (4 sets on two rigs) and still had usable tread on them.  Again, 5k mile rotation.  I will go back to BFG's on the Stroke the next time I need tires.   :twocents:
May that for which I prepare never come to pass.

I wish I could put bfg's on but they said they don't come in my size.  I like discount tire much better but I hate the bank they use for financing, they always send my bill late so I'm late paying.  If your late twice the damn interest rate goes way up, I won't mess with them anymore.

I go to Schwab for the service.  We put new tires on my wifes Audi Quattro a couple years back from there.  After 1 year they were toasted. Not the tires fault, Audi's just rub when you turn at high speed, that's the way they were designed (stupid I know).  Took the car in to get new tires and the guy at Schwab said they wont put that brand on Audi's, the don't work, and said it was their mistake.  So we got 4 new toyo's for FREE.  I never complained or asked for anything, they just saw their mistake and made it right.   I will continue to be a loyal customer, price isn't everything to me.

I have Nitto Terra Grapplers on my silverado 1500.  Very comparable to the Toyo AT for less money. I would get them again.

coop I would say that I am around 30 to 40,000. I put the tires on in late 2010 and drove it daily until I bought my 4Runner in April of 2013. My son drives it now, so I haven't paid to much attention to the mileage on it.

I dont know if you already have 20 inch rims or if a 16.5" wheel will fit over your brakes but.... The used Goodyear Humer tires  wear like iron on big trucks and are some of the best bang for the buck out there. My Brother ran them on his crew cab F350 long box while he was logging (really sad weather cracked ones) and he only had one blow out, he thought due to the lower tread and sharp rocks. They can be had fairly reasonably Less than $125 each ususally for pretty decent stuff. Not the best wheeling tire but a really good 70-30% tire that sees lots of pavement. I had a set posted on here that i sold recently.
In archery we have something like the way of the superior man. When the archer misses the center of the target, he turns round and seeks for the cause of his failure in himself.
