Just put some 305x65r18's on my existing wheels today and BAMM, looks sweet a$$. Wish I could post some picks but i can't figure it out. Could have probably fit 35's under her but i did'nt want to deal with them maybe rubbing, after i put them on though, i think 35's would have fit no problem. I have a 2" pro-comp level kit. Can't go wrong with the BF's.

I love my Hankook Dynapro MTs. 35x12.5x17

They handle good on and off-road in my opinion and cost quite a bit less than the regular brands like Nitto, BFG and Toyo.

You can get them for 220 a piece, which is great when compared to 340+ for the others.

I'd suggest the BFG AT KO or Pro Comp Xtreme AT.

A couple of choices spring to mind...
BFG All Terrain KO (315/70 R17),
BFG Mud Terrain KM2
Cooper Discoverer STT
Pro Comp All Terrain
Maxxis BigHorn (MT tire).
Hercules Trail Digger MT (tickled silly with mine so far).
Toyo Open Country AT
Toyo Open Country MT

There are a mess of others out there.. What are you looking for?

If you want best all around on, and off road performance, combined with excellent treadwear, there really is only one choice IMHO...

BFG All Terrain TA KO.

I've had 5 sets of BFG ATs over the years, only reason I went with the Hercs this time is because I wanted something different, and I was tired of sacrificing mud performance to gain a quiet ride... (Hurricane Ike pounded the need for mudders home in a SCARY way with my wife in the truck..)

Mickey Thompson ATZ's. Just pick mine up from the shop last night and had them installed. I couldn't believe how deep the treads on these were for an A/T. supposed to be a great driving tire, but more of a A/T - M/T crossover

Did anyone try the Dunlop Maxx Traction or the **** Cepek Radial F-C II tires?

They fall under the A/T - Mudding tire hybrid...

I have no personal experience with them, but a coworker had DC FC-IIs on his Bronco. Said they wear like a pencil eraser against a power sander... I'll pass.

My vote is on the BFG AT KO, they are priced high but worth it in my book.

i'm in the same boat. i'm going to need new shoes in 4-6 months.

looking at:
mickey atz's
pro comp xtreme at's

i don't really get in the mud that much anymore so i'm looking for a less aggressive tire but still looks good AND CAN BALANCE. these grapplers are killing me!!

either staying with the 37x13.5x20 or stepping down one size to 35's
