I am not sure how to convert the metric sizes to standard sizing, so I don't know what your specs would translate to, but I have read really good things about www.dirtgriptires.com . I think I am either going to go with those or the ProComp X-Terrains, which I have also heard really good things about www.procomptires.com/xterrain.html

I think they are both really cool looking, and I hear they handle pretty good both on/off road.

I have run BF Goodrich AT KOs for 3 years and 3 months. They ride very smoothly and grip very well on and off of pavement. Aggressive look? Besides MTRs and Swampers there aren't any more agressive looking tires. (Got sidewalls?) I speak from experience, get BFGs.

I vote for the BFG AT's also. I'm on my second set of 32's. I got over 40,000 miles off of my first set...

It's good to hear about the BFG 32x11.50s that is what I'm getting in about another month or so. I can't wait, 2.5" lift and 32s it'a whole new Runner then. I like hearing that my tires are gona last as well. Go for the BFGs man, no doubt about it, alota my friends run them as well and love every bit of them.

I have to say go with the BFG A/T...I've had them for almost two years now and I absolutely love them. I will probably never get anything but them. I love the look and the ride. Overall just a great tire.
