Best AT Tire???
 
When upgrading the tires on my SUT FOR a planned September trip I can go with really, any tire 35" or 37". However in the name of marritial peace I would like an aggressive AT Tire. I was looking at the Pro-Comp AT Extreme as a possibility.
I run Pro-Comp 37" XT's on my off road truck, but those are pretty noisy (whine) on the highway. Anyone run the extreme AT's???

I think the stock tires are great AT's. I haven't had them on my truck in years, but I know CO ran his for years with ZERO problems.

Im running the Pro Comp Extreme A/T on my truck and i dont have any complaints. I have about 35k on them. Even thoughi dont really have any complaints my next tire will more than likely be the Toyo MT. From everything i hear the Toyo M/T sounds and handles like an all terrain but gives you a more agressive tread pattern...and i think it is a more aestheticly more appealing tire.

The Toyo MT's are my first choice for a more aggressive tire if I don't go with a good AT

I like the look of the 37" BFG All Terrains. I believe they have a bigger pattern than the 35's and fill the wheel wells nicely. As far as performance, they are hard to beat, but I have wheeled with Boss and his tires did just as good as the BFG AT's.

I've run the ProComp extreme AT's on my last three trucks!

They are great!!!! I am currently on the BFG MT's. I like those too, but I know I'll want different tires in the winter.

No telling at this point what I'll end up with. Plan to do the factory proving grounds drive in Sep, then another day or so off road, maybe down in the Daniel Boone nat'l forest.
Like the ride of the AT's, have XT's on my serious rig, so right in the middle would be a good compromise.
I have known now for 20 years that those BFG AT's are awesome. For some reason I just don't want to believe it!
Over here in Afghanistan where I'm currently vacationing, I see the wrangler's and as of late the cooper MT's. Both do well in the rocks and sand. But sand we don't have in Kentucky.
I'm for sure putting the BFG AT's on my wife's Z71 Suburban, guess I'll be a tire buying MoFo this fall!

At the southern city of Kandahar, actually at the nearby airfield. I get all over though.
Definately a war going on here, they just don't like us very much.
Afghanis can't be trusted, Packys help the T-ban, we are like ten thousand times stronger, but they will go toe to toe with you, wierd! That's OK, makes my job easier...
Just can't make the connection though, I thought Islam was a religion of peace! :-))
