Been running the Pro Comp Extreme A/T on wife's 2500 Hemi, since Dec. of 2006 and they still have half the rubber on them and no problems. Don't know what size you are running but hers are 35x12.5 R17LT. Great tires! Good luck.

I went through last season with those Pro Comps, same size but in the 18" rim. They held up great and the tread wear was awesome.....BUT, watch out for creosote branches! I put a creosote branch through the sidewall on a brand new $350.00 Pro Comp....which can happen to any tire though! I now run the new BFG Muds ( 35x12.5 R17 ) on my F-250 and they are and have always been my favorite. These new ones look as though they will be just as good as the last version of BFG muds. I know several guys who have gotten well over 50,000 miles outta the muds!!! Good luck.

 

Here's the 35x12.5 R17 NEW BFG Muds.............

I run the Pathfinder AT's on the wifes 2500 Crew cab duramax in load range E 285/75/16. They have about 25,000 on them

and still look great. I got em at Discount with their warranty and they cost aprx 160.00 each. They look like the

BFG AT'S.

 

I also run the Toyo open country on my 2500 Chevy in load range E 285/75/16 and they have 35,000 on them

and they still have alot of tread on em probably will get 50,000 on these.

 

The 285's are basically a 33" tire.

 

I would recomend buying from Discount tire because you can't beat their warranty plus with that you get free repairs

rotations etc...

I had the Toyos on my F250 and they only went about 32 thousand miles--did not like them at all. Went with the BFG muds and got 45 thousand out of them and only traded them in because they started getting really loud after a while. Also tried the Pathfinders and they did do pretty well for the price--35 thousand.

BFG AT from Discount Tire - bought the full warranty (everything except knife slash through side wall is covered). I haven't lost a tire yet, but my old man has lost 2, both replaced free of charge.

I ran into a problem with Discount today, I have had 285/75/16 on this truck since

it was new and now they say they cant mount 285's on stock rims so they want you

to buy new rims also. :angry: :blink:

My dad has always bought from discount for that reason (MANY tires replaced) and now I'm a discount man for that warranty to. The dicount I go to are also a great group of guys. I've already have had a few tires replaced. Just have to buy the warranty for the new tire and your set.

I'm running the BFG A/T's right now, thanks to the wife talkin me in to them. I have always ran BFG muds on my past trucks and never should have switched. The only good thing about the A/T's are their wear. (except mine) <_< <_< I have about 21,000 miles on this set and they will need to be replaced here soon. My truck pushes out a little more torqe then most diesels so the tires don't stand much of a chance.

 

A friend of mine has the new BFG muds KM2's (same tires on Jim's truck) and after riding around with him in mud and snow while lion hunting, I am a complete believer in these tires. We never slipped or spun our tires in any of the nasty stuff we were in. To date they have worn very good for him.

I've ran BFG A/T's on all of my trucks for years and have had great luck with them, I really like the looks of the new KM2's though, I may have to try a set of those on my Jeep soon

I'm shopping as well and I have found a couple of sites that may help you out.......

 

www.1010tires.com

 

 

 

www.tirerack.com

 

 

1010 tires you could check the sizes and compare the ones you like, Tire rack has great deals on tires and tire wheel packages.

you can check out the reviews on hundreds of tires.You've probably found these already on your own, if not, well, there you go!
