Depending on size, they come in C rated and D rated versions. I have them on
my Dodge 2500 (D rated 315's) and really like them. They wear well, are
relatively quiet, and are fairly good off road. However, they suck in the
mud, due to the spacing on the tread (don't clean well).

Yeah, i likes them a lot on my TJ for everything but mud.

It's a done deal... ordered a set for the Cruiser... guess I'll find out how
they work on a heavy vehicle and around rocks for my own bad self!

Jeff,
I have used BFG ATs for years and they are very good in the Minnesota
snow and ice (if you drive sensibly). Excellent luck also on razor
sharp rocks in the Minnesota Iron Range Off-Road park. However as Jerry
says, the side walls can get cut by rocks, but in my experience these
tires have stood up well.

Jerry, what tires do you recommend for sharp rocks?
Regards,

Guri Sandhu
