    YES! For an A/T these get my vote. I have ran the BFG's and these out performed them all around! If it were me, I'd go with these or the Duratracs (no experience but they look raw and I hear good things). I'm running the STT's now and have no regrets. If I ever go back to an AT it will be the ST's!

    For Discount tire I had to order mine. I just searched the internets and found a place that had them for the cheapest and had Discount price match them, so I could get their road harrad warranty.

    EDIT: I think I got them for about $170 each (just tire).

    When I had them I got them for $151 a tire for 265's at treadepot.com. They may be limited in amount though....but not sure.

    Just wait til 1/2 tread and the siping is worn away. They become slicks in snow/ice, and if you sipe them at a tire shop the remaining tread disintegrates off within a few months.

    the least agressive design most likely. But between them MPG difference is probably almost not noticeable.

    True. If there is any difference you won't be able to tell.

    I pay close attention to tire tests on the magazines and person reports here on TW...

    I have had Toyo Open Country AT and liked them

    I have had Cooper Discoverer ATR and liked them

    I now have (just a week on my truck) the Hankook Dynapro ATM and am REALLY liking them... totally quiet on the highway, not high priced, nice looking off roadish tread, and worked great in the mud and snow last Saturday!
