I've run the 33x10.5x15 BFG AT on my Taco's for the last 9 years or so year round. The originals lasted about 3 or 4 years before I found some kind of weird deformaty in the edges of the tread, where the tread ends and the sidewall begins. Sears replaced them taking into count the tread remaining. They have always performed well in the winters, even on ice. You just have to drive appropriate for conditions. We have driven our Taco down to Soldotna for every Christmas or Thanksgiving or winter trips down to Glennallen and they always performed well, whether ice, hard pack, or fresh deep snow. Of road they do good, except in mud. They did not perform good at all on ice on my Land Cruiser though, I would spin out really easily due to the short wheel base. I replaced the AT's with BFG MT's that I got studded and have had no issues in the winter on the ice with these tires. For summer I have the Cooper STT and they have done quite well so far. They don't do as good as Swampers or Boggers, but these they are not. The only stucks I have had with these is in the mud getting high centered. Seem pretty puncture resistant also.
I had considered the Toyo ones until I had a look at them. I don't know why they made the outside lugs taper together instead of keeping them equal distant. To me this would help with keeping the mud locked in?:confused:
Check out the tread pattern and then compare to the Cooper STT and see if you see what I see?
Anyway, enough now.
I lied:-) Anyway, check Sams club for pricing on any BFG's, you may have to order and what up to 4 weeks I think. I bought my BFG MT from them and got a way better price than anyone else locally. I bought the Coopers at TDS and they had better price than American Tire.
