My procom at's are great. I'm going to get the same tire when I go to 35's. They have a good warranty too--60K i think.

Thanks to everyone for their input so far.

I do plan on having a 2" - 2.5" lift (still debating coils vs spacer's...to give good ride and remove rake) and these tire will be resting on either MT Classic Lock 17x9 or Eagle Alloy 137 17x8 hopefully in the next two weeks. Also shopping for new bumper.

All tires listed in poll come in either a 285/70/17, 305/65/17, or 33/12.5/17 All approx 33" and from 11.5 to 12.5 wide

I'm just above the lake in MV

I'm feelin that an AT suits my needs, but I sure like an MT and the flexibility of being able to handle more difficult terrain when the opportunity presents itself. It is definately a balance of form vs fashion thing...oh yeah, and price.

So...it comes down to Aggressive AT or Mild mannered MT if there is such a thing.

The poll is fun to watch...hope it helps out some of you as well.

Cheers.

J.

All of the "Buy 3, Get 1 Free" deals I've seen have been a joke. They jack up the price of the tires so they can give you one "free." It's stupid.

The Hankooks might be for you. But be aware that the two center groves disappear fairly quick.

I have heard great things about the bfg A/T and the bfg km2. These are the 2 I am trying to decide between.

You should consider the Maxis Buckshot Mudder. I had them on my TJ when I lived in California and was happy with them doing most of the stuff that you are. The only drawbacks I saw with them was the lack of sidewall traction and they are a little louder then most more expensive MTs. Great tire for the price.

I have been running a set of DC Mud Countrys 285/75/16 on mine since last spring. I have put 12K on them and tread wear is looking good. They do good on wet pavement,mud ,dirt and rocks. They do make more noise than most AT's but not as loud as BFG KM's.
