Default Aggresive looking A/T Tires

Whats the most aggressive looking A/T tires out there? The guy lifting jeep recommends running A/T's instead of M/T's for my 16 year old's jeep. 3 inch lift. Son wants that aggressive mud tire look.

In my opinion, there isn't an aggressive looking A/T. I'm gonna go in defense with your son and say you should get M/T's. Just curious, why A/T over M/T?

x2. i have good year duratracs. they are an awesome mt that wears like an AT. wet roads, snow, ice,etc. just amazing. at tires just dont look agressive enough for me and im 40...lol so the gy duras are a great compromise. i rotate every 5k and they still look like new. all on road drive too. i should mention that. right now i've got about 23k on them. i bet i get another 25k out of them. its well worth it to me.

AT's are a "me too" tire. " i have bfg at's... oh yeah??? Me too... "

Here's a link to see some good pics of the duratracs. Many of my buddies have them and they are great on and offroad plus they look almost like an m/t. Also have a lot of sipping for wet conditions. http://www.tirerack.com/tires/tires....eMake=Goodyear

If you can't find ATs you like, there are many MTs with good street manners. My local buddies run BFG MTs. I personally prefer Pro Comp MT Extremes. Awesome street manners and they look mean. But if he is going to be driving at interstate speeds on a daily basis, look to an AT as I am sure it would last longer.

Love the Duratracs, I definitely recommend them

Some are against them, but the Walmart goodyear authorities are really nice tires. I Ran BFG A/T's prior to my authorities, and I would take the authorities over the BFG's hands down for all around performance in snow/mud/daily driving (If your looking at 31x10.50's)

Goodyear Duratracs. Awesome in all of the above and they look good!!! Check'em out.

Jp magazine did a review on 30+ tires in the latest issue. Its a good reference to get exactly what you're looking for by guys who know what you want.
