    Soooo, looking into some new rubber. These BFGs are ok but im about fed up with the issues ive had and plus they are only 32". Looking to get something new but in 33". I want a semi-aggressive tread pattern/look with good overall performance on streets and basic off road trails that us 2wd guys mainly do. Liking the Goodyear Duratracs and the Hankook DynaPro MTs. Both are only load range D from what im seeing. Heard pros/cons of both but overall it appears that the Goodyears are a bit overpriced for what my intentions are and what they actually provide.

    Looking for some suggestions and recommendations or personal experiances. Looking for something with a look atleast as aggressive as the BFG AT/KOs

    Falken Wildpeak AT's in 285. I love mine. And they're cheaper than peanuts.

    I have had balancing issues since day 1 and BFG and AmericasTireCo has been no help in getting it resolved. I believe the cords have shifted in one of the tires and is keeps intermittently throwing the balance off. Its a long story. But they are also wearing much faster than anticpated as well and i balance and rotate them regularly

    thanks ill look into them

    Beautiful! Camping a couple thousand feet on a glacier and the temp swings from 65 during the day to 25 at night. Pretty amazing, though. My soul is already lost, btw, thanks. You ever do Miller Jeep Trail?

    Why do you need 10 ply? Are you planning on towing something regularly or needing that stiff sidewall? When I switched from E to D, I immediately noticed how much smoother my ride was.
