    I want to lift my Prerunner truck 2.5 inches and i also will get new tires (still have stock dunlops) and im thinking about getting the BF goodrich but im not sure about getting the AT or the Mud-T, what do you guys think? I live in Baja, Mexico near the beach so its a sandy place. I would like a clean look, like if the lifting was done at the dealership lol, i have 16´ steel wheels. What should I get?

    A/T would be better in sand.

    Pretty much this. A/Ts have better flotation in sand than M/Ts.

    A/T are also rated for severe snow if that's important to you.

    A/T are more practical if you don't drive around in mud.

    Why bother with m/t unless you are gonna get in the mud. It may look a little cooler but I think the cons of using them for the street outweigh the pros

    Another vote for A/T's.

    M/Ts are not very good in the rain or hard packed snow.

    A/T especially since you drive a Pre Runner. I assume you won't be taking on any serious mud with a 4x2.

    I gotta say the KM2s have pretty good street manners and in the sand they do pretty well.

    Neither! I know there are a shitload of BFG fans here but I am not one of them. Do more research on tires before you limit yourself to just the BFGs.
    Get some General Grabber AT/2s. Almost the same tire but IMHO better quality!

    An all-terain tire, but I personally would not buy BFGs.

    I was on the fence with BFGs and did a lot of research. There seems to be quite a few that are out of round and have balance issues. Therefore I found a tire with a very good reputation of current and past owners that is almost the same tread pattern. The stock BFGs wore quickly on my truck. Those are my reasons.

    I have run both on my old 1996 Mazda B4000 4x4 and definitely go with the ATs.
