The BFG AT is a classic. Quiet and long lasting. You'll likely get 60k out of them and no complaints. Their weakness is mud but my friend has them on his JK and it hangs with my locked mts all through the park.

I say you won't be disappointed. Most ATs are weak looking which is a serious aesthetic down point for me too.

The BFG AT KO is the gold standard for AT tires. You can easily get 60000 miles out of them with normal care. As mentioned, Cooper Tire manufacturers the Pro Comp, Dick Cepek and Mickey Thompson lines which are all good choices.

BFG A/T is an excellent choice. I have run those tires in the past and they are great on road and it the sand.

I have been looking at the Cooper Zeon's, and have not been able to find one that looks just like the MT ATZ. Can you post pics or link!

This is as close as it comes anymore. The Cooper Zeon LTZ. They've changed the pattern a bit since I bought my last set (a few years ago), but they're still pretty close. Either way, they're great on my truck.

I ran these myself in the 33x12.5x17 size and really liked them. Quiet and great on hiway too. I only sold them because I wanted a more aggressive looking and larger tire. So I moved up to a 35" still Mickey Thompson but the MTZ

haha, that pic is too damn funny!

I run the mall terrains on my JK currenlty and have run them on past full size rigs as well. good tire for most trail/ road conditions. they do suck in that gummy mud of clay. however, if you don;t really get into that stuff, go for it. there area couple guys on here running the 37 bfg at's on their rigs. I know one was a 4.5 aev loft and the other was a terraflex 4". can't remember what threads they were in though.

procomp extreme AT is a great tire too imho. I also ran those on 3 other rigs I had. I used to be able to get deals on them, not anymore though. So back to the bfg at's. I had only planned on running these durring the winter months, however, I am enjoying a quiet ride at the moment.

Really liking my Falken Rocky Mountains, which are identical to the Wild Peak. Quiet on the road and handle very well. Haven't had a chance to get them offroad yet. And they look much veterans in person that in pics.
