    I'm trying to decide what tire I should go with. I'm currently running the stock size 31x10.50/15. I would like to put a set of 33x12.50/15 tires under the taco. The truck is my daily driver in the winter but also sees a little off road snow and mud during the early spring and late fall. I've been looking at the hankook dynapro MT. They go for around $300 Canadian. Does anyone have any suggestions of a GOOD but still relatively low cost tire? I want something that will take me off road and I don't have to be scared I'll get stuck like a street tire would. But I'd also like it to be good in snow and on ice as I'll be driving the truck mostly in winter. I'm on a farm so in the early spring and late fall ill be driving gravel so I don't want a really soft tire that will just get chewed up on gravel and the highways. It seems like a lot to ask but I want something that's good all around for a decent price. I don't want to go more than $300 Canadian per tire.

    I just put on some BFG AT KO2's, they seem good so far(2,000 miles). they have done decent on our ranch in the mud and what not and are quite on the street. I had some KO1's about 9-10 years ago and they did not do the best in snow in my opinion but a lot of other people I talked to back than liked them in the snow.

    Yes sir
    I like my BFG KO's, the KO2's have a stronger side wall and don't cup like the KO's did apparently. Goodyear wrangler's are spoken very highly of as well, I'd definitely look into those.
