we pulled out a practically new Ford Super Duty 4x4 over the weekend with the Case 5140. A guy from a neighboring ranch called and said eh got stuck in the pasture. We expected to find him buried. WRONG. He had the street grade tires that come stock on them, and they were gunned up so bad with the slick stuff out there that he was basically stuck on teh sirface with no discernable holes dug. Not even sunk in to the depth of the sidewalls. Poor guy. Nice truck, but useless offroad with those tires.

On my old f150 Had three different tires
GY wranglers-- useless and worthless for anything Nitto- great traction in mud sand or rock- but only got 30k out of them BF AT KO-had 50k on them when i sold the truck and where still running strong.
On my F250 I have BF AT KO- great in the mud and sand- but are a beoach to keep balanced and are loud.
Next tires I'm going to try the Coopers

37 x 12.50 x 18 Procomp Extreme MT's. This is the first time I've tried them and I can say that the voids in between the lugs on this tire really builds up with slick mud. Add to that any grass or small shrubbery and these tires end up looking like giant marshmallows. The lug on the side is also agressive and fills with mud. Then is slings it all over the truck and anyone else behind it as you drive along. Will be switching over again after these are done.

Buckshot mudders on my 04 chevy...Ive had a lot of different MTs and use them A LOT, buckshots are far and away the best IMO. Ditto. About half the price of the Goodyears and BFG's, and as good or better traction. Can't comment about the highway performance since I leave my 4x4 at the ranch and only drive county roads to the gas station and back.
Silver spurs and gold tequila keep me hanging on. Pretty girls and old cantinas give me shelter from the storm.

Next tires I'm going to try the Coopers I think you will be happy with the Coopers. The Cooper ST-C, cut resistant, are bad arse. I got over 50k out of 2 sets or 2 trucks. Love them. Great trackion in any conditions.

A little more wheelspin and you will find that they clean theirself quiet well. To each his own I guess.

325/70/17 Nitto Terra Grapplers. The new Trail Grapplers look interesting but a full blown mud tire ain't worth it for my needs.

305/55/20 Pro Comp Xtreme A/T. hard to keep balanced, but look good and with a little wheel spin clean out pretty well.

Cooper Discoverer ST's 285/75/17
They're a good middle ground between AT's and MT's. Had BFG AT's for 3 years and while I liked them I think the Coopers are much better. my truck is only 2wd and ths is what I run and they get me through alot. I have only been stuck once last week and I could have gotten out under my own power but it was better to let the kubota pull it out and not tear up my grandmas backyard

My 4x4 has become a city truck. Wife drives it. I have a Tacoma with the locking diff. It is all I need on our lease since it is rocky. I used to do some serious mudding though and ran nylon Buckshot Mudders. Those tires were great and I never got stuck or had a flat but you better have good sound proofing and stereo. If you got into sand they called them grave diggers.

For the price BFG All-Terrains are hard to beat. There aren't many AT tires that have better tread wear. That being said, there are other tires that will perform better in muddy conditions. They are just more expensive or aren't practical for the pavement.

Bridgestone Dueler A/T Revo's - pretty quiet on the road, but great traction off-road. If dedicated off-road BFG MT's are hard to beat, but as a compromise for on/off road, I like the Revo's. Had many sets of BFG AT's over the years, but a buddy put me on the Revo's and now I'm hooked. Got 65,000 out of the first set on our 4wd Tahoe with very even wear and great wet traction.
