I have BFG AT's on the TJ now, and they are good tires. But I want something
more aggressive. I get out on the logging roads a lot, and the mud around here
is very slick clay stuff, and AT's absolutely SUCK for that, so much so that I
basically don't even try mud with my Jeep. Don't get me wrong, I don't want
to go mud-boggin'; I just want good mud performance when I need it. Also,
where I hunt elk it can snow like crazy, we got hammered last year, and my Jeep
is an important tool in elk camp at that point. It needs to be able to handle
that as well as possible too.

That's bad news. My 4WD Nissan Titan came with Goodyear Wrangler SR-As
(whatever their intended use is...I'm pretty sure it's not offroad). I
was hoping they'd wear out quickly.

I have 35" MT/R's and I am fairly happy with them. They don't clean out as
well as my buddies' swampers in the mud, but I do ok. It was also a toss up
for me between brands, and I chose based on country. Goodyear is American
owned, BFG is French.

Make any comment you want about those Frenchies, or my politics, or even
that I have my head up my ***. I chose American, buddy.
