BFG, because I own their MT's and they seem to be long wearing.
But if anyone knows if generals are just as long wearing, I'd go with cheaper.
Also the grabbers are a MT right? gonna get more traction than with a AT.
But AT is better for DDD (daily driver duty)
$100 less?! what sizes are you using for comparison?
Edit:
I see the "grabber" comes in both AT and MT
Go with cheaper if your gonna just get AT's just my 2c

Yeah fully, just using that a reference.
I would go with the generals, then you can review 'em for us...hehe
Good luck!

I had the General AT2's and loved them 265/75r15 on 3" and 5" of lift. great miles, loved the rocks and good on the snow.

rocks will chunk them up pretty good. But I loved mine!!! and cheaper than BFG's too

BFG A/Ts will last 50,000 miles or more if you keep rotating them every 6,000 miles and keep them properly inflated. They're good on everything except for mud, which is the only drawback. They have great road manners, and don't hum very loud at all.
