They look like road hummers, personally...I'd have to do a LOT of off-roading to justify that heavy, separated tread pattern

Why do I do this to myself?
Ok I need tires, places around here are crazy outrageous. Found a place selling General Grabber A/T 2's in 285, about $800 shiped. Then I start hearing horror stories about Generals.
Okay so right now I have narrowed it down to:
Nitto Terra Grappler
Pro Comp xtreme A/T
Kelly Tires Safari TSR
Looking into a few others ATM as well. Trying to keep the price with shipping below $200 per tire.

Just bought some Korean tires, Nexon AT's, 10 ply, at $164.50 each out the door, balanced, bolt in stems and nitrogen. DEEP treads. smooth, quiet ride. $50.00 less each than my Wrangler AT's that were 4 ply. So far, I am very happy with them.On edit, these are standard size tires for this truck.

I fall into the "best tires I've ever ever had" with the Toyo MTR's as well. My last truck had the exact same tires BrandonMag just picked up. Really good wear for a MT tire, really quiet considering the tread. Used the truck to tow my 5er all over the place, and they worked awesome, even for a 34" tire on a tow rig. Put they're frickin' expensive.

My whole goal was to keep it cheaper than BFG's in the same size.
Around here, BFG's in 285/75/16 go for around $225 a tire.
I just purchased these: $205 per tire shipped.

I've been reading some good reviews about them. Kelly is a daughter company of Goodyear. Same basic tire as a Goodyear duratrac, but about 25$ per tire cheaper

I will let everyone know how they do.
Kelly was big up in the NW as Les Schwab carried them (Les Schwab is huge in the NW, a tire center in every town it seems). Hopefully they will do decent. If they can go 30K like my BFG's, I will be happy.

Well crap, this tire company is sucking big time.

Ordered my tires, entered my debit card info, all is well. I check my emails, and they say to continue this purchase, I would need to use paypal instead of the debit card. Okay, send the money. Then I get an email from BofA about suspiscious activity...I knew I had been charged with my debit card, along with sending money through paypal. So I called them up, they say the paypal went through, so tires should be shipping out tommorow, and that the charge on my debit card should go away within a day. I chose Tire-easy as it had a lot of good reviews per google. Oh well, we shall see.

This.. taller and narrower.. basically a 33/9.50.
The local power company runs that size in varying flavors on all their .75 and 1.0 tons

30k on a set of bfg at's now I realized why everyone has told me to stay away from them. I have been running some off brand called remington mt from firestone since about feb 08 and I have put about 25k on them and they are about 1/4 to 1/3 tread, they have been horribly abused also(my driving is just now not starting to consist of not burning them down every time it rains, and they went through many wet pastures spinning like hell). They only ran me around 150 a tire out the door at firestone

When my tires get here te BFG's will have about 35k on them. Two are ok still, one is wore down to the point of it being hard to see the tread design, and one is in between.
I'm defiantly going to do an alignment around Christmas time, passenger side wears the outside out.

Just a thought...My personal experience with the Nittos and Pro Comps. The Nittos ride like crap and get LOUD as they wear down. The Pro-comps absolutely refuse to wear correctly in any way shape or form...they seem to always get cupped/chopped.
