BFG ... IMO Goodyear does not make a good offroad tire specailly compared to BFG who makes some of the best offroad tires!! BUT since U said nothing about offroad those Goodyears should/would outperform the BFG mudders on highway and snowy/icey highways, even get more miles out of them also would be my guess. BUT IMO, for a DD I would go with Cooper Discoverers ATs or BFG ATs.

My old man has run the wranglers for years. They last a long time and look good. As far as performance I can say he's never been stuck in wet grass. His truck goes places a car would never go. And I'm pretty sure he gets them at walmart with my aunts discount.
I think the BFG'ss are probably a better all terrain tire off road, but the wrangler is a better AT tire on the road.
I honestly would buy the wranglers.

the kevlar would cost me 900 so it aint gonna happen. lol
I will be using these off road thru a lot of mud but again it needs to have good on road manners. oh and the duratracs come with a 50,000 mile warenty

I would go with Wrangler MT/R's .. I'm sure those KM2's are better than the previous BFG mud's but not a fan of BFG anymore since I have found others that outperform them.

i went with the goodyears only because you said DD and with michigan snow i can only imagine. being from WI I chose to do DD tires first then i got some MT's for wheeling later on because it was more practical. but i would love to get me a pair of those KM2's for sure down the road.

I'd say go with the GY Duratracs. Everything I've read has people raving about them over at JeepForum and other sites.
They are also winter rated traction devices with the little mountain and snowflake.
They seem like a really solid tire.
