x2. I have them on both of my XJ's. They're great in all terrain, quiet on the highway, have a LONG lifespan, and just look good overall. I love 'em!

2. BFG AT's: The tire and brand is well proven, they look good and seem to put out a "50/50" approach when it comes to off road and on pavement, and this is good. An all around tire that will go plenty of miles.
3. Hankook Dynapro MT's: look pretty good, have a really good looking tread pattern, priced in between the GG's and BFG's, and of course that rare time I end up in mud, I am a tad more prepared with these over the other two tires.
Thats my brief from what I have gathered in comparing them so far I suppose...

I ran 33x12.50 Grabber AT2s on my old Dakota for 45K mi and they were on it when I bought the truck, have no clue how many miles the previous owner put on them before he traded the truck in. I put them through sand, mud, and snow, pretty much everything the east coast has to offer except for rocks and they did very well at everything. They were outstanding in the snow and on the beach probably thanks most of all to the siping they have, and in the mud imho they are darn good for an AT tire.

Very good in the frozen stuff, no complaints in the rain either. As long as you remember they are an AT tire and not a MT you'll be extremely happy with how they do in the mud.

Alright, thanks for all your help and input everyone. My conclusion so far is to go for the General Grabber at2, and if not those the BFG at's, then the Hankooks last. I'm gonna use my eyes, look at these tires more in person and see what some of the "tire people" have to say as well.
Thanks again for all the input on this post, I'll update (if I can remember) On what tires I get and how they perform to me.

They are good in the rain, I did alot of driving in rain with them. they also did wonderful in the snow. I did hit I big patch of ice before the sent me into a skid, But that would of happened no matter what tire I was running, it was solid black ice. The are great for street driving also. One issue I ALWAYS have with every BFG AT I install on someone truck never balance well. End up loading up with weight to 0 out.
Ive ran BFG AT's in 30's
I've ran BFG AT's in 31's
And Dynapro's in 30's
Dynapro is the way to go

Dude that was 4 years ago. If you want a question answered about an old thread, it's best to PM the individual member instead of hoping they happen to see this.

I have a set of non agressive hercules A/T tires. They've been really good both on and off road. I don't do crazy rock crawling. They were very very inexpensive. but I would buy them again.
