....on my daily driver ever again. Just rolled 11,000 miles, belts went in the stock bridgestone POS tires. So i put a set of 285 BF goodrich Mud terrains on it. WoW. They're no bogger, but they are one real nice tire for driving on the road and traversing woods roads and muddy construction sites. I was sick of getting stuck in 4x4 in two inches of wet clay, that I have no problem doing in 2wd now. It will also throw some nice clods up when you want to have a bit of fun;) . I suggest to anyone who uses there truck on any kind of terrain other than asphat more that 25% of the time, it is worth the little bit of road noise to have decent rubber on your ride.

That's what I say too, I don't like them skinny pizza cutter tires. There is alot of trucks around where I live that are very much pavement queens and 4x4 too. It's just not right. I go off the road just as much as I'm on the road and I don't want a squiggly smooth pizza cutter tread for a tire on my four wheel drive truck. Just my opinion

ditto to both of you.

but i digress, the army moved me up to D.C. and hardly ever get out of town now, big shock from Ft Benning! Now i guess I will put on the old all BFG AT's. before i got here i wouldnt put anything but Mud Kings or BFG Mud Terrains or Buckshot Mudders. all good in the mud. if you stay off the road more than 50% of the time try out some Co-op Grip Spur's, cheap and aggressive but don't last on the highway.

I hate little, non aggressive tires. That was the first thing I changed on my truck. I run some co-op tires called country squire R/T, they are basically the same as a big O xt, but cheaper. All made the same place, same tread, just different names on them. They clean out really well in mud and snow.

BFG Mud T/A's and Pro Comp XT's for me,I don't think I've ever bought a set of "street" tires for one of my 4x4's.

Even with 2wd i would suggest it. I don't really have the need for 4x4, but 2 times this year i have had to be helped out of soft ground while towing.

My next set are going to be Toyo Open Country 315/75R16's . Gonna try and jam them on there without a lift. I'll probably get some green keys.:ro)

There ya go, They look like they are a nice tire. I haven't seen them in person yet but just by looking at them in a magazine and reding about them they seem like an all around good tire.

):h BFG mud terrains get stuck also.

Open country all terrains or Mud terrains??? BOth are awesome, but if your looking for a traction tire go with the mud terrains. I really liked the all terrains for wet highways and dry conditions, but the minute you find mud they were terrible. Just depends on where ya drive I guess, toyo's are VERY tough tires though. I really like them.

I'll go mud terrains, mostly for the look but I do run into mud the odd time.:pig:

I'm on the opposite side of the fence on this one I guess.

As much as I love the look of a little wider tire, too wide does poorly in my experience in a lot of conditions.

On slick, icy highway, mud tires generally don't do well. I drive a lot of slick highway, so I tend to stick with aggressive tires, but not mud tires. I was actually pretty impressed how well my stock tires did while hunting in deep snow this year.

Narrow tires do so much better in snowy mountain conditions, I've found. A 235/85 is a great tire for those situations.

Mud tire suck for plowing I run 235/85-16 I'm off road on job sites geting mulch, stone or topsoil and never have problems getting stuck in 2WD
