I believe in buying American, too. Support American jobs whenever you can. I think you're really limiting yourself here, though. Besides, ALL American jobs are not blue collar, or "hands on" types. What about those who are responsible for imports? Don't they have American jobs, too? Isn't that part of the American economy as well? I think any of the American made tirea are probably a good choice, but there are also some fine choices that are imports at much less cost and with GREAT REVIEWS, that will save you money. The thought that you're not supporting American jobs by not buying something made here is really ot true.

While the BFG A/T KO is still at the top of my A/T list due to my prior, first hand experience with them, I'm really liking these Goodyear Duratracs. If their longevity proves to be half-way decent they would probably be my top A/T choice.

damn you and your opinion on stuff in an online forum!!! how dare you?!? I cannot believe you have the balls to come onto a forum, and type your opinion. Next you will think it is ok to ask a question.... geesh.
Oh, and redneck I want your honest opinion about ride change between current tires and them please. What are you running now?

Yes, I'd always believed they were a US co. Either way, I absolutely LOVE my Revos. So far they've been the best AT I've ever had.
I love mine! Aggressive looks, too, for an AT (and these are 33s x 10.5s):

I just picked up a set of very slightly used BFG A/T's. FYI they say "Made in America" right on them. Maybe they are not all made here, but at least some of them are.

I got a chance to take some pictures today, but only in the driveway. I did hit some gravel roads and a construction site after I took the pictures though. Wheeling will have to wait until my lift comes in.
They're a 33" tire (275/70-R18). The suspension is bone stock (I have a lift on order), but they fit okay for road duty.
I've out about 100km on them on pavement and gravel roads. So far I love them! I can't wait to get them into something more than a construction site.
First impressions:
* They look way more aggressive in person than they do in photos.
* The siping is deep and the 'ridges' between treads are sharp and seem grippy.
* They are surprisingly quiet on the road; you can hear them with the soft top on, but it isn't intrusive.
* They ride very smoothly with only a bit of tread vibration right before stopping.
* Steering is just a bit heavier (went from 255 to 275)
* The 275 width on stock rims results in just a bit of rubbing at full lock. An adjustment to the steering stops should take care of that.
* I expect that they will rub under articulation, so I'm looking forward to the lift arriving before I hit the trails.
* The grip is really good, no troubles in the muddy construction site, depsite the mud from several days of heavy rain.
