Dan, have you personally 'wheeled the BFG AT KOs?
I have, on 2 Jeeps. I think they do a terrific job for what they are. Sure, they might clog up with mud a bit easier, but give it a little more gas and you'll be fine!

Like i said they are a good tire, but the mud terrain is a big step up in traction with very little negative affect on street manors...IMHO |

i have heard bad things about general tires and personally i hate them from having to mount them when i worked at sears. the tires' beads come almost touching on just about every tire i have seen...no try to seat that on an 8" wide rim....good luck and good luck keeping them there at 10psi. also i have heard that they tend to wonder at highway speeds.
personally i have the bfg mt's and my jeep is my dd still. the only time i have problems is in slushy snow. packed or fluffy snow is a fine. yes they do have a little more noise than an AT but with proper tire maitance you can keep them pretty quiet...mine are barely audiable inside the jeep with the windows up.

As far as tire noise:
1. Its a jeep
2. You want to be able to go offroad
Equals: More noise and reduced onroad performance.
Get the MT's and dont look back

the only thing you need to think about is how much do you want to compromise when you use your jeep for off-road adventures.
in other words are you willing to sacrafice on road handling and noise for off road traction? if you answer that you will be able to buy the tires that you need.

Thanks for all the information. I have ran MT's before and did enjoy the off road traction. They were Mud Kings. I had a time getting them balanced though. But, if I knew of a good place to have them balanced, I'm sure it would have helped.
Thanks again for all the help and information and any additional help and or suggestions are greatly appreciated.
