^^km2's are m/t's, of course they are better off road, especially in the MUD, lol. a/ts are the best all around tire, my runner is a DD: gas mileage, wear and vibration were all issues when i was choosing a capable tire

What made you choose the BFG's? I had a set of 31's before and wasn't really impressed with the longevity/performance for the price? Did you get a good deal on them?

I'm looking to get a new set of 235's for the winter but we have a lot of snow here so I'm looking at the Goodyear Wrangler Silent Armors

Eh.. I've always had michelin tires on my truck(s).

They are really the best you can buy.

The last set of 31's(BFG) i had on there went about 65k and were very dry rotted by their last days

Plus i kinda like the way they look. They kinda pop and say:"Toyota" more than most tires
