compromise tire
 

I will be replacing my tires soon and am looking for opinions. I'm running
mud tires right now, but am thinking of going with an AT because my Jeep is
my daily driver(my wife is very persuesive about the noise level ). I'd like
to get something a with a bit less noise as a few road trips are in our
future.

Ideally, I'd like to find something between an AT and a MT.

I have heard really good things about the BFG AT KO from a bunch of people.
How does this do off road (mud/rock/snow)?

Anyone use the Pernelli Jones Dirt Grip Tires? I know that Petersons rated
it pretty good across the board.

Any suggestions?

"I have heard really good things about the BFG AT KO from a bunch of people.

I have been running that tire for about 6 years now on two different
vehicles, one a old work pick up, the second a CJ-7. I don't like cleaning
off mud all that much, but the tires have always worked well enough in the
mud to keep me happy. I live in Utah and just 4 hours from Moab. So the
tires have seen lots of use in both snow and rock, and I am very happy with
them. The last moab trip I did not air down at all for one of the easier
rides, and I did lose some chunks of rubber of the edges.
One thing I do like is the high mileage they seem to get. After 6 years (4
of them it was a primary car for me) the tire tread was still around 75%.
The jeep tires are now 5+ years old (this is a toy so not heavy miles those
years), and these tires even driven in sharp rocks, and with lockers on the
street still look around 75% as well. Compare that to my friends procomp
tires on his suburban, and after 2 years and 20K miles they look like they
are shot.

I went with Bridgestone Dueler AT REVOs on my '01 TJ and love them. They
haven't been offroad a bunch, but when they have, they've performed well.
They're great on road.

Re: compromise tire
 

Interco Trxus MT's... they are amazingly quiet on the road, perform awesome
in the mud and rocks and I don't think you'll find a better snow tire...not
sure how they wear...mine are only a month old...also another good all round
tire that I really recommend is the NEW Cooper STT...they're quiet and
wick'd off road...
both the tires I mention are mud tires that are siped well which help the
quiet ride and gives better ice and rock traction...

'03 TJ w/ 33" Trxus
'95 ZJ w/ 31" Cooper STT's (both Jeeps are DD's)
