Never had good luck with bf at's. Seemed the snow would pack in the tread and stay there. From there I went to trexus mt 31's and loved them on ice and snow, hardly needed 4 wheel drive. Good in mud and on rocks too. However tread is loud and soft, wore down to fast on my daily driver. Currently going to dura tracs

For anyone who is still paying attention to this thread, i bought my tires yesterday. I went with the BF Goodrich A/T KO's 31x10.5-15 I based my decision on a majority of reviews online and my friends who work atTires Plus. (Plus they gave me 10% above cost)

I've seen multiple sets go for 50k and still pass inspection. You said you wanted "GREAT IN SNOW" and snow is where the duratracs really shine. Bfgs are ok in the snow, far from great

Cool. I like the BFG's but when I got new rubber I couldn't justify the extra $$$. That's why I went with the Hankooks. As good as the BFG's (not as popular though) but a substantial bit cheaper.

I think you made the right choice. Would like to see pics after lift and tires installed. I was looking into a lift for mine so maybe i will base mine after yours.
