I'm reviving this thread cause I'm interested in some more info. I have the GY AT/S with about 36000 on them. I probably will get about 42 or 45 on them. I was looking around for a great off-road/on road tire. I would love to get the BFG's but the TA-KO's are about $180 mounted each! I'm not shelling out $800 for tired after one year. I have been thinking about the Bridgestone Dueler and I am open to any suggestions. Thanks for the help.

I tried out the BFG Longtrail T/A tires...thought the grip sucked. They didn't grab the road well, and were even worse with gravel. I replaced them with Bridgestone Dueler ATs and couldn't be happier...actually, I'd be a little happier if I could've gotten the tire in a larger size than 265/70/17. I hope they come out with more tires for my 17" wheels soon.

Thumbs up

Try the Yokohama Geolandars AT+. They price out at about $110 a piece. I put some on my supercrew and I have only have one word for them, STICKY!!!!! Besides, they look hostile.
