    I mean… it’s a Ford, you don’t care
    I run cooper at3's in the winter and wildpeak at3w's on my summer wheels. very happy with both tires. the coopers can be a PIA to get balanced though from what I understand, although I do not have that particular issue

    For the type of driving you listed, I would suggest the Falken at3 or the BFG KO2.

    Is "bro" synonymous with "tool" or "douche?"

    They're only "bro" when they are brand new and shiny. Once there's a few chunks of meat missing from crawling then they just look badass.

    I've got the new Nitto Ridge Grappler. I have no complaints so far after about 3 months. Time will tell though.

    I have a very different opinion from years of use, my 2013 FJ trail teams bought new came with BFG at on it and it had a vibration that the dealer could not get rid of and handled poorly. My 2013 Dodge quad cab was bought used had KO on it and felt squishy and not very confidence inspiring. Both of these vehicles problems were solved with Kumho KL71 mud terrains. As soon as I got my 2016 aclb or I put a set of Kumho KL71 on it. Now my 2004 jeep liberty likes the Goodyear MTR better which it has a set of on it now. I live in the Ca desert surrounded by sand and gravel roads, granted I don't buy tires for best freeway wear I buy tires for the worst situation I may find myself in. Just my opinion on tires that doesn't follow the majority. I do run BFG tires on a 73 Duster but not on my trucks.

    If you in mesquite often then yes but for mainly roads then no. If you run those things on the road you better have a damn good stereo and some serious sound deadening

    I have the Nitto G2s ... never saw the Ridge Grapplers.. they look SaWeeet..bro!

    On the Bro thing... Bro is a nick NAME for someone not a description of something...

    But you can use BRO in a description by adding something to it like:

    BroTaco = kick ass moded Tacoma
    Bro Lean = front or back of a truck that is higher or lower in one area and NOT the other.
    Bro-ser = Poser
    Brominator = Terminator

    a few examples

    Hey Bro pass me the brotato chips!
    Hey Bro, did you see the Brominator on TV, that was freakin awesome Bro. <-- common over use of the term "Bro".

    As with many things this all started in Cali or HI.... probably at the beach.

    The cooper ST/Maxx has been a great tire for me. So far about 750 off road miles. Mostly muddy, rutted, rocky forest/BLM/county and ranch roads during hunting season. Only needed 4wd once.

    I run Toyo MT tires during hunting season then switch back to my factory oem tires when season is over. No complaints with this tire except they are e rated and heavy.

    Had these on a Jeep. Really good off road. Didn't keep it that long after I put them on, so I don't know how long they last. Everybody talks about the KO2 being a bro tire. I'd think tires with Kevlar fit the bill as a Bro tire better. Either way I've had both, so YOU WANNA GO?

    I got the AT3W's about a month ago now in 265/75/16 with the E load. They're great on road so far, not loud at all. I haven't had the chance to really wheel them yet besides a couple 2WD trails up in Big Bear. They'll be put to the test this weekend though at Miller Jeep Trail or Gold Mountain.
