What kind of trails? You need to be much, MUCH more specific about your needs and budget before we can even begin to help you on this issue.

jsut getting and idea, no budget set atm...
and as for trails, ranging from dirt roads all the way to rocky jeep trails and river crossings, and muddy terrain

BFG's are tried and true, though you might also want to look at the Firestone Destination M/Ts. How important is on-road driving to you, what percentage of mud/dirt/sand are you planning on encountering? Where are you going to be offroading in the US anyways?

I have ran them both, plus dayton mt, firestone mt, mud brutes, 3 or 4 kinds of swampers, and now I have the Pro Comp Xtreme MT and they are easily the best of them all for overall driving and offroad. Tough w triply sidewalls. Heck they ride better than most all terrain on the road and are quieter than the other mud terrains. I will say a swamper in the sticky mud would clean out better, but they are horrible in the rain and I had to sets shred sections of tread when hot and another blow the sidewall out at 5000 miles, so I would only buy swampers for true offroad use.

Not cheap, but the pro comps surprised me and if you look around, they do buy 3 get one free alot.

I don't have experience with the pro comps, but hear they are an awesome tire...

If its between those two, I realy like the KM2's. They're used on hardcore riggs that I've seen on rock crawler jeeps, and small mudder trucks because they are basically padle wheels. My last set of tires I owned were these in a 31 and I recently sold them to another member. I went offroading with him, and he made it right through places I got hungup. Most likely my next Tire will be a biggier beefier set. I also ran them at TEcOrE and they held up quite well in rocks, and provided awesome traction in the dirt.

Sold them to me...absolutley LOVE the KM2, by far the quietest mud terrain i have ever ridden on/in and a jeep place near me agreed with a "wow thats a perfect tire for that truck"

Base it on where you wheel and what type of terrain youl be seeing. Id say start on craigslist and buy something cheap before you sit and drop $600 on tires that your not going to like. Also depending on your size dont forget spacers cause of lovely GM engineering with our balljoints

Wrangler MT/R is what I just got put on....I am no tire expert that's for sure but they did pretty dang good in the woods yesterday. Use 4x4 once, through the creek. The mud cleans itself out of them REALLY well, before we hit pavement. IMO they don't have much road noise. I did take a glance at the Destinations & they are awesome! If I wouldn't of went with the Wranglers I would of definitly went with the Destinations. Then again that's just MO....

We really need one huge offroad meet in the center of all of this to determine which tires are flat out the best! Me and brendan like the bfg's cause thats what we've had, every tire i've had on the tb has been a bfg and they're all bee awesome! Then again DCM those tires are good too! I just think my KM's pulled me thru mud that alot of 33's woulda stuck in.

In this photo are the 31's not aired down at 50 or 60 psi. the only limiting factor with that mud was how low my stock height tb was (no lift). And the mud on the side wasn't kicked up, that was the depth of the pit!

4 Wheeler magazine just did a review of four kinds of tires. You are all getting the magazines, aren't you?

Never home enough to read them... Now if they all had e-zines, I'd be all over that.

I get them all and it appears that the Interco won because it is new. Nothing really outstanding abou ti and with the history of their tires that I have witnessed and experienced, I would not own them it I ever planned on driving on pavement.

i have the mt/r tires as well. they r wearing great. ballance great. and dont have much road noise. i took them to a huge granite quary with 4 passengers and they did great. i think i had them around 55psi or so.
