check out the falken wild peak a/t tire as well. 3 ply, 50k mile warranty, very quiet on the highway. haven't taken them out in the mud yet but they are reviewed really well.

i got mine for $145/tire in 31x10.5x15 at big o tires.. they can be had a little cheaper if you bargain.

I have these on my XJ, love them. I have never had any traction problems in mud, rocks, or sand. They are great on the road as well, no noise and great wet traction (no snow here, so can't comment on that).

I do have 1 issue with these tires, and that is the only size they have for 15s is 31s, and I am ready to go bigger and wish i could get the same tires again.

Best picture i have where you can see the tire.

Looks like a good snow tire... The BFG's don't look like they would handle well in snow.

These tires are awesome in the mud they do as well as my buddys Nitto Mud Grapplers. Cant say the do well in sand though they like to dig. On the road mine have a lil roar at 40+mph but if your tires dont holler they must be bold. lol

I'm a walmart shop manager, they ride rough, and are loud if those are things you care about. I've had several customers return them due to the harshness.

I know we don't really get them in too much anymore, they do have good traction for mud. For a note, walmarts policy is to only do stock sizes, so unless you want 215/75/15s on your truck, just bring the rims in, not the vehicle. Walmart can now special order tires, just ask them to, I snagged a set of general grabber red letter that a cust ordered and forgot.

I do believe Walmart also carry Cooper Discoverer ST, and that is what I use. I like them very much.

Mine are a lil loud but far from a rough ride. If you run the correct psi it rides as smooth as a lifted Jeep can. Personally I run 27psi in my tires gives me even contact to the road and like I said it rides as smooth as a lifted Jeep can.
