Look at the Bfgoodrich Mud terrain T/A KM . Had the bf MT on two different trucks and would keep buying them.
 
The Kumho's are great tires.... Also look at the Toyo Open Country M/T's.... I had Open Country's on my F-250 PSD and loved em. :rock: Don't get the Pro-Comps, I hear they wear like shit and don't balance worth a damn. ;)
 
I love my mickey thompson baja radial claws,they wear well for such an aggresive tread and they are quiet! i picked up my last set off e-bay for around 900.00 for four!

If you want tires that will last and great traction,I totally agree with the Toyo Open country M/T's, thats what most guys run around here ,some other great tires are the Mickey Thompson MTZ's also and the Cooper STT's very simular tread to the Toyo.

Have had great luck with Nitto's Mud Grappler. Kick ass off road and get great highway mileage.
 
if u ever go to glamis stick with the BFG AT, if not do what u want. i ran the MT's from bfg once and they sucked in the sand.
 
Whatever tire you choose and if you do a lot of street driving, I would make sure the tire tread is siped. I have seen some of the more aggressive off road tires without siping (some of Interco's come to mind). Mickey Tompson, BFG, Nitto and Toyo are good choices for a MT tire.

Yep, siping is a good idea.... tires without sipes will hydroplane BAD on the highway. When you have a 7000+LB truck barreling down the highway at 70mph and it starts to hydroplane, it's SCARY! (trust me) :eek:

I hear ya there. My Chevy is running 35 x 12.5 BFG AT's and they are worn pretty good. Got some sipe left but not much. Driving home from work last night in the pouring rain was fun -- I felt like I was drifting the big 'ol boy.

Like an elephant on a frozen lake.... :D :D :D
 
thanks for the input.....im leaning toward the kumhos tho cause there only 220 a tire, the nitto mt's are my first choince if i can get um cheap.....i have coopers at's now, and want something more agressive, for a good alround preformace......the bfg km2 was a close 2nd, but they are 300+ each, and as of tirerack.com's user reviews the kumhos got higher...


so whos up for a break in mud run?
