Treadwright Guard Dogs. You won't find a better tire for the $$ anywhere.

Best A/T's IMO:
1. Goodyear Duratracs
2. Treadwright Guard Dogs
3. BFG A/T

I like my Goodyear Authoritys...have 0ver 10k on them and they are wearing well...great in snow and mud...I paid 156.00 apiece a couple of years ago at wally world...probably a little higher now but again worth the $$ in my opinion

Toyo ATs, a very well road mannered, wear very little. And in the snow they are one of the better tires I've ever run. However if you do mud it's all wheel speed and momentum. They do good in sand too. Though if I could do it again id probably get duractracs or Goodyear authorities.

I just put 4 Grabber AT2's 235/75R15 on my stock 95 today. Love em so far and they fit and only rub (barely) on the LCA on a full lock left turn

Everyone who ha$ paid for them $ays that near 40 year old BFG AT design is the best. maybe it is. But plenty of other options.

I drive mud snow and the occasional flood. I had cooper Discoverer AT3's on at Prairie City and made it though the mud. In fact got stuck and made it out on my own in the mud--in 4WD-H.

Then drove on the Tahoe where it was dumping heavy snow and made it through there fine.

Of course, the BFGs are still the best tire for parking in your mom's driveway while you tape off "Angry Eyes" or spray paint your coil springs fluorescent green
