For All terrains, you can't beat 265/75r16 BFG A/Ts. My brother got a lotta miles outta his. He kept them rotated regularly.

bfg all terrains are a 50,000 mile tire. i've had the one set on my big truck for almost 4 years, 45,000 miles, still got quite a bit of tread left.

I've been hearing bad stuff bout good year lately. I'm partial to Michelin and BFG at right now. Michelin will last forever.

personally, and there are quite a few that share the same thought, stay the eff away from goodyears altogether. check with local Discount Tire Co if there is one in your area. these guys have great prices, great service, great warranty. IMO, waaaaaay better than Les Schwab.

I had Nitto terra-papers on them cause thats what the where, no traction at all, bought them from Discount, managers special my ****, they where trashed in two months, switched to goodyear and they lasted 5-months, I bought some BFG -T/A A/T KO and they lasted 4-years until I upgraded to 18" wheels, then 22"'s
Do research on the tires you want to buy, with the best ratings and so-on

the bfg's have a load e and d rated tire. the e rated tire is an lt 10 ply design with reinforced sidewalls and if you go on tirerack.com they have reviews and ratings for performance in different weather settings.
