That's what I run, I like them a lot, I've put a lot of abuse on them and they've held up well. I've only ran three different tire treads but these are by far my favorite, they're quiet and handle really well. But tires is mostly a personal preference depending on what you use your rig for. The BFG AT is known to handle and stick well offroad but have a lot of life on-road. Perfect Tire in my opinion

If you get a lot of snow, I say go with Goodyear Wrangler Duratracs. They are awesome in most conditions, and quiet on the road.

I've been running Goodyear's Wrangler Duratracs. They've taken almost 25,000 miles now and they're probably around 50% tread now.

They're a good tire with good road handling. Off road, I've never been stuck.

I've been meaning to try Goodyear's Wrangler MT/R tires with kevlar sidewalls.

I'm running Grabber ATs in 235/75. They're good tyres. I had them on my old Jeep and I noticed they were still on it when I saw it come round again on Ebay.

Great in snow, they pack a bit on mud at road pressure - but they're an AT so I don't think that's a surprise.
