That is exactly what Im doing. How satisfied are you with them? Right now these are what I am leaning towards.

oh and theyre AWESOME in rain. got to test them today. i have to really try to get these babies to lose traction.
where as my rubis were practically lethal when driving in rain in 2wd. i never drove in rain just because of how bad they were.
Don't worry. They will get a little louder when you get some miles in them

I just put some MT ATZ's on my 2010 Sport and I LOVE them! Did a trade in on the stock tires and got a wicked deal. Sure helped to make the price more manageable

Just my opinion but for someone who does a majority of DD it is the way to go. They have a long life, good in snow, and are not loud at all.

I have looking at the Falken Rocky Mountains. They have good reviews on here and its one of the only tires can find with an actual mileage warranty?? Be careful at the sizing as I hear these run small. I believe a 325 is just a tad larger tad a 35?? Cant beat the price on these though...

The Nitto Terra Graplers are a dang fine looking all-terrain. They came in a close second to the BFG AT KO's I chose. Honestly though. I really love the look of the Terra Graplers on Jeeps much better than the AT KO's. Having said that, you are looking for a well behaved dd tire. I really don't thing you'll find a better tire than the BFG AT KO's! Tops in my book!

Good luck!

Look at the Hankook Dynapro ATM

Not as expensive as some others, do not get loud, easy to balance and most of all great on and off-road performance

I like my Fierce Attitudes, they are the little more aggressive than the Duratracs, which is what they are based off of. They used to be made by Goodyear and were passed down to it's subsidaries Dunlop and Kelly. Dunlop is currently making them and there is $40 rebate on them right now making them even cheaper.

Only problem with the fierce and kelly tsr is 285/70/17 is not available right now. I was set to buy either last week and every dealer told me at least 6 weeks to see inventory. Possibly longer.
