Ok I would like to get some new tires for my 07 classic, I want to go with a 285/75/16 on stock wheels. I am torn between Bfg all terrains and Michelin LTX A/T 2. I use the truck as follows

- Own a construction company and constantly tow one of my two trailers both e load rating
- Plow snow so I need something with more grip the the stock POS tires

1st choice Hankook ATM RF10
2nd Jetzon Revenger AT
3rd Cooper Discoverer ATR
Some 265's will rub (Cooper) and since you plow, and due to the narrowness of the stock rim, May I suggest nothing larger than a 265/75r16E.

BFG AT is a great snow plowing tire.

The tirerack website has ratings on most of their tires. Just went through a 2nd set of Silent Armors, good on packed snow but after 34K miles they were almost gone. Put on LTX-AT2 and they feel about the same as the Silent Armors did when new. The Michelin is reported to last quite awhile. I had LTX-M/S on another truck and they went 70K miles.....terrible on packed snow/ice and not very good on wet no matter what the consumer reports say, but they wear like iron. I'm hoping for some decent mileage from the AT2. They're rated very highly and they do ride well.
