Canceled order on tires!!!!!

Canceled my order of the Nitto TG'S. Im not sure what to go with. I want traction in all elements and I want them to last a long time. Im looking at the Cooper Zeon's or the Goodyear Silent armor's. I am very unsure on what to do here. I know I have asked a few people on here but am still at a loss. Inputs please.

I can't say enough good things about my cooper zeons. I have put about 10,000 miles on them so far and they look like new. Ride and handling is great and very low noise for this type of tire.

BFG AT/KO's get my vote. Easy 60k miles maybe more if taken care of.

I second the Silent Armor vote. I upsized a little with LT275/70R18, big heavy tire. I got into some sticky mud in Montana a few weeks ago. They cleaned them selves very well for an AT tire. I understand that they are very good on ice and good in deep snow.

I've got the Goodyears too, never an issue. Snow, rain, longevity, bring it!!! The only problem I have is the size I want next they don't have, so the GY MT/R is what I'm prolly going with.

Just curious why you cancelled the order on the terra grapplers?? I have loved mine so far. I've had in the past the silent armors, bfg at's, toyo mt's, michelin at's and the terra grapplers were cheaper and seem top notch so far.
All your stated new options are great tires too, you can't go wrong with any of them.

The only bad thing I can say about them is that they hold rocks like a ****. If you have to drive any gravel roads or alley ways expect to hear the stones clicking until you get out and remove them by hand.

Another vote here for the Goodyear Silent Armor. They do work well in the snow.

I have had the BFG AT KOs on two of my trucks and I have the Toyo MTs on my current one. They are both very good tires, but they do cost more than others. I think if you want a long lasting tire, you have to be willing to pay a little more for them.

I have 285/70/17 GY Silent Armors. I've had the tires on for 75,000 and I've still got a lot of life in them. I've run them in mud, snow, gravel roads, long highway trips, and they have never let me down. It's an outstanding tire.

I cancled my order on the TG's because of all the bad reviews they were getting. They don't last very long. Most of what I saw was no more than 13,000 miles.
