I’m probably going to put some 37s on fairly soon, but I have a few questions. I’m leaning toward the BFG MTs based, in part, on the sound advice from a certain very knowledgeable Britexan, but I’m feeling a slight bit equivocal, and had some follow-up questions for those, including the aforementioned pond-hopper, in the know.
I’m basically looking for the best off-road tire that is not horrid on the street and that will not create excessive rubbing.
Here’s my uneducated thoughts on a few options:

BFG ATs:
Advantages: I know they do not look as aggressive or as capable as the MTs, but I’ve had great performance out of them on my H2 and old Trooper in a variety of terrain. They SEEM to have performed better in the snow and wet pavement than the GY MTRs I had on my Sierra (see below question about wet pavement/rocks). The 37s are also a wee bit smaller than other 37s (36.3” diameter), which would, I assume, minimize rubbing.
By BFG’s own ratings, this has a wet traction rating of 9 compared to the BFG MT’s rating of 7.
Q: Won’t better traction on wet pavement translate to better traction on wet rocks?
Disadvantages: Doesn’t look as tough; dismissed by most as not as good as any MT off-road.

BFG MTs/GY MTRs:
Look great; by reputation, better than the BFG ATs; at 36.8” diameter and 12.5” wide, probably won’t rub excessively.

TOYO Open Country MTs:
My favorite tire, but, according to TOYO’s specs, it’s 37.1” tall and 14.6” wide (even though it has “13.50” in the name). I fear too much rubbing without a lift, which is not an option for me because I need to fit this beast in my parking garage.

Any thoughts? Thanks in advance.
