Personally I like BFG/Cooper/Toyo/Multi Mile(Wild Country) All-Terrains, as they handle Various Terrains well, but are fairly quiet and smooth on the pavement...  Both my girlfriend and I have BFG MT's on my truck, & her Jeep.  To me they're a bit too noisy on dry pavement, and too squirrelly in the rain/ice/snow...

i've got the bfg mud terrians on my truck and i don't see anything wrong with them. they seem to grip good in the snow (eaton lsd in the back), i haven't noticed anything weird in the rain, and as for noise, i just expect road noise from knobby tires like that anyways. i drive on the highway alot too. i haven't put enough miles on them to tell you about tread wear yet. thats something i will have to see. my grandmother always had cooper snow tires on her explorer and would swear by them.

I have the BFG M/T's on mine as well. Rides lot better than the heavy duty stock size I had and no noise. If the coopers wear and ride decent you stand to save a buck. Size and weight of the vehicle make a difference of how much noise the tires make. Weight per square inch of tire contacting the pavement as well as how aggressive the tread. Something like that.

I'll price them out for you tomorrow. I looked them up online but if you buy them from an online company the shipping is ridiculous! lol It said about $550 for shipping plus the tires
