Need advice on what tires to buy
I'm stuck on what tires to buy. It's either between Bfg Ats, General Grabber AT/2s, or Dunlop Mud Rovers. There all 31x10.5r15 please help

Re: Need advice on what tires to buy
I just ordered a set of bfg Ats in a 32. Look pretty sweet, hopefully mount them soon.
What are your needs/preferences?

Re: Need advice on what tires to buy
I've been looking at them as well for a future purchase. I have read and talked to several people and the BFG AT's seem to be the tire of choice for a large percentage of people. When it's time for new ones those will more than likely be my choice, unless I find a bargain on another tire that I can't pass on.

Re: Need advice on what tires to buy
I got mine pretty cheap as well, actually really cheap I think, so that's what made me grab them.

If you guys can wait for a few months, the new at is about to come out, sidewalls look more aggressive and they should be better than the previous in stickier mud, I love mine right now tho, they have gotten me places my goodyears just couldn't, I will probably buy them again once these ones are done

I heard a lot of good things about the bfg At but I have a 2 wheel drive I need something that's really good for mud so I don't get stuck in something stupid. For example if it's a little slick out down a trail I don't want to be stuck I just want to creep threw it

Re: Need advice on what tires to buy
I've had good results from my BFG ko's but my next set of tires looks like they will be cooper s/t maxx.
It's more of a hybrid AT/MT

Re: Need advice on what tires to buy
I think that the bfg A/T will do just fine for your needs. ^The falken wild peaks are nice but I don't think they're aggressive enough for OP. Another good hybrid At/Mt would be the goodyear duratracs.

The wild peaks are great. I run them in 31's on my ranger. They have for me out of just about everything. Snow covered muddy hills and everything. Just one spot I have gotten stuck with them. But I made it out before and 350 with supper swampers. Somehow. What got me stuck though was my L/S differential. Which I want to changer. My point i you can't beat these tires for the money.

Re: Need advice on what tires to buy
It also depends on the price the OP is willing to spend, I got the bfg a/t in a 32x11.5 for 140 a piece, pretty dang cheap. I think wild peaks were around 160, I can't exactly remember.

Go general grabbers. Much better value for your money than BFG's

Also I'm trying to think weather or not to get a 32 or 31 cause I have a 30 now with a 2 inch lift and I don't want my tires to look too stuffed
