I personally am not a fan of the BFG M/T's unless you are off road most of the time. If you want to go with some off-road tires, I would recommend some Wrangler M/Tr's

If you have a Pep Boys near you go check out the Durango MT's, very sweet tire and priced very well..

Im happy with the M/T mtz's on and off road they do good in the rain no slippage that I can tell .A couple of friends have been running them for about 2 years and haven't worew the tread out yet.

Also for those who want better stopping power and traction in the rain just have your MT's siped.. I just talked to a buddy who runs a tire shop in Norman OKlahoma and he said siping the MT's will make them handle as well in snow and rain as an AT ....He told me a shop that will do them for $10 a tire so my next set of tires will be 32" MT's and have them siped..

These are what I plain to get next..

they look pretty mean but the 'P' and 'J' as the tread pattern has me thinking, how much did they think that was gonna work better or just promote and look nice, i dont know anything about the tire though just going off the looks
