1. Get tires in 315/75R16. If you're going to spend $$$ on tires get the size you REALLY do want.
2. You live in MI. As I understand it lots of snow and ice. Just like in MA. Due to this look for a tire that is siped. The BFG AT KO is siped. The BFG M/T is not. If you get the M/T plan on the extra $$ to have them siped.
3. I love my BFG AT KO's everywhere except for sticky mud. Everywhere else they totally rock. In sticky mud they suck.
4. Take a look at the Toyo M/T, and the Cooper STT. Both are really serious M/T tires and both are siped. If I could do it over again I would go in this direction. If you can live with the sticky mud suckyness then the BFG AT KO rocks.
Good luck.
