Q:
I need new tires for my pickup. I have had BFG all terrains and am leaning toward getting them again. Have you guys found anything comparable for the same price or cheaper? what is you favorite tire for a hunting truck you drive year round?

I have runt those before on one of our work trucks. They were all right. But overall, Michelins have given me the best service and longest life. They hurt my wallet to buy 'em, but when I cost it out they tend to be the cheapest over the long run. Just got 95K out of a set on my F250. And that was with towing trailers and hauling some heavy loads.
I really like the Bridgestone Dueler A/T Revos. Quiet on the road but ample traction off road. Firestone Destination A/Ts are also an excellent tire. Check out the reviews on tirerack.com.
I have uniroyal liberators, which are only sold at walmart. They are the only A/T's I've seen with an optional road hazard waranty, and have served me well for just under $500, including waranty. The water channels work great too, which don't seem to hinder their ability to grab dirt and mud. This last weekend I drove through soggy grass and up a 3 foot, 40 degree bank, w/o breaking traction (r/w drive). Later that morning, I drove up a muddy hill (no grass, just some leaves) w/o breaking traction. I'm not a tire expert, but these tires have impressed the heck outta me!
I just bought some Nitto Terra Grapplers. They were less money then the BFG all terrain. Plus I know a guy that works at a tire store and he says the Nittos are better in the mud. I love my new tires...
I have the same tires on my '98 4Runner and can't see any reason to go against them. The only change I would make would be to upgrade to the Mud Terrains.
I forgot to mention, the road hazard warranty, on the tires I mentioned, can be used to cover damage incurred off road. I just called to make sure. If you do get any tires w/ a road hazard warranty, beyond reading the warranty, ask as many questions as you can to clarify what is covered, and more importantly, what is not. But you probably already know that.
I like the Goodyear Wrangler MTR little pricey-or the Mickey Thompson Baja MTZ or the Baja Claw nice tires a little more reasonably priced.
2nd on the Nitto Terra Grapplers. Great tire for the money. They are quiet for everyday driving but they bite like hell when you need them to. When i had my set put on, it felt like a brand new truck.
Hankook A/T
get the hankook a/t terra grapplers should be called crapplers. 2 set failed at less than 15000.
