i agree with the general grabber at2's. they are basically the same tread pattern as the BFG's for a cheaper price. i had no issues with wet pavement when i ran them. i had 265/70r15's with a 1.5" budget boost(tera flex shackles and spacer). i ran AZ desert roads and pavement and drove to school/work/around town and they were great! mud was okay, sand was pretty decent and snow was awesome.

i just finally wore 2 out about 3 months ago (have the other 2 sitting in the garage as extras i guess 35% tread left). lasted 35k(but i beat the crap out of them and spun my tires quite a bit [ah high school days])

What you guys think? Any places cheaper than tire rack.com?
I put the Destination A/Ts on my truck about 10k ago. So far they work really well on wet/dry pavement and do well on gravel roads. Ride quality is pretty good too.

I think they would serve you well for the duty you described.

I had General grabber on the sidekick I had before, never had a problem with them on wet or dry, not so good in the snow on 2wd, but the sidekick is pretty light on 4wd it was good would buy them again anytime
