Default New tires, help me decide

Really having a hard time deciding on what I want to do for tires, would love to do some Baja claws or some Toyo's but dont really want to drop that much $$ on them... So I have come down to 3 different tire options, I will be keeping the stock 17" Moabs and run some 265/70/17.

Option 1- Kelly Safari just a great deal $$ wise

Option 2- General Grabber AT 2

Option 3- BFG Mud Terrains

I would also check out treadright tires. They look like a good bargain.

I would go with the Kellys they are made by Goodyear are very similar to the Duratracs we all seem to love and are a good price.

bump.... Go with the Kelly's. If the price is comparable, slide over to the Duratrac's, Man. They are a much more quiet ride on road and kick a fair amount of ass in most other terrain as well. Also, you can get a good deal on the Wild Peaks at Discount Tire. They run up to 37's (which measure close to 36") You will be hard pressed to find poor reviews on either... ultimately it depends on how much wheeling you do, and how nasty it is where you wheel.

A hunting buddy of mine runs the Kelly Safari on his Ford F250. We don't get stuck in the mud anymore like we did with his old style Goodyear MTRs. And they are a lot cheaper.
