Welcome to the site!

I would recommend BFGoodrich All-Terrains. Smooth highway ride, but do amazing in the snow, ice, rain, and mud thats not too deep. (My personal experience.) Ive ran them in 30x9.5s, 31x10.5s, and now 32x11.5s. Hope I could help!

Highly recomended, I bought a set recently and they are great. They are just 31x10.50's but they do great on and offroad, they are also quiet.

The good thing about the BFG A/Ts is they are so popular- here by Chicago there is usually at least one set of used ones cheap on Craigslist. :-)

Well, everyone has an opinion.. here goes mine!

Great A/T tires:
1: Bridgestone Dueler REVO's..
2: Dunlop Radial rover R/T
3: Goodyear Dura-tracs

Good A/T tires:
1: Dunlop Radial rover A/Ts
2: Dunlop Radial rover RVXT
3: BFgoodrich Mud terrain KM2 (a great onroad M/T that lasts.. IMO a better A/T then a M/T)

Bad A/T tires:
1: BFgoodrich All/terrains
2: BFgoodrich Longtrail T/A
3: Goodyear Wranglers

May I ask why??? I have these on my Ram and other than that they pick up gravel nicely, they are probably the best tires I could find.
