I wold get away from BFG's. If you want to stay in that realm pick up a set of the AT2's. Here is a short list of the best tires I have run.. Bridgestone Dueler AT REVO, best tire I have ever had!, The Dueler 693 comes in a close second. I have GY MTR-k's now. THey are great, haven't run them very long, but they are a great tire. But for DD'ing probably not worth the coin. Falken Wildpeak (or the DT exclusive Rockymountain ATS, pretty much same tire), Dayton TImberline AT, and the Firestone Destination AT. Depending on size the Falken's will probably be cheapest.

Wow, huge response... thanks!

I'm leaning toward the BFG A/T's again. They wear like iron and even at 50% tread I've had no problems in snow or anything. Yeah they clog up in mud, but i need to spend less time splashing in mud with my DD anyway, if I want to keep her around for a long time at least.

BUT... I am looking at Treadwright, and that price has really got my attention.

How long do they last? Just how noisy are the Guard Dog M/T's?

I'm not too worried about noise.

Also, with a 3" lift and 3" backspacing, will 31/10.50's fit without rub? I've done no fender trimming of any kind.

ProComp a/ts are good not to much either they seem to last pretty long Iv heard of 65-70 thousand mile being put on them. They do really well for an a/t off the road do better then the bfg IMHO and do decent in mud and rock maybe even a lil better then the bfgs. Just my 2 cents
