BFG vs. Nitto

Ok, so I just ordered the 2.5 AS lvling kit, and now I am having trouble deciding if I want to get the BFG A/T, or Nitto A/T. I plan on running 35's on my stock wheels. If you have either could you please post what you like and don't like about your tires. Pics would be nice too.
Another question along with the 35's, am I gonna have to regear with them?
I have an 04' FX4, with the 5.4l.

Shown is my '04 SCrew with 305/50/20 Nitto Terra Grapplers. I have never owned them so I don't know how they perform in the long run. So far, I love them! Can't wait to get them out in the snow! My other truck is a '98 Dodge 3/4 ton with 285/65/18 BFG A/T's. I have gone through 3 sets of these tires on this truck and I have been pleased with their performance, especially for a 3/4 ton truck. I get about 40K miles out of them. Someone else on this forum will have to comment on the longevity of the Nittos. Both are great tires. The BFG's have a good agressive look but they did not have much to offer in the way of 20" tires, that is why I went with the NIttos. As far as the 35" tires, depending on the rear end you have, it would be wise to regear it to avoid future issues with the tranny. Hope this information is helpful for not actually answering your question.

I currently have over 50,000 miles on my BFG AT KO's and love them. I'm beginning to wonder if they are ever gonna wear out. The only bad thing about them is the price, but with tires you tend to get what you pay for. The Nitto's are also excellent. You can't go wrong with either.

BFG's if you want to spend the cash on them. You'll get well over 50k outa them as long as you keep them balanced and properly inflated

I have 18's and I was quoted $250/tire out the door for the same size Nitto's and BFG AT's so I don't see any point in going with the Nitto's if you can do that. To me, they aren't very aggressive at all. So for the same price, it's a no brainer that I would choose the BFG's (50k +) over the Nitto's (around 40k +/-).
