I've had the BFG A/T's and the Nitto A/t's. The BFG's were much better at mileage (got around 35k) to the Nitto's 25k. However, the Nittos were slightly better than the BFG's for all around traction on multiple surfaces.

To be honest, I am not a fan of either and would recommend staying away from both. Much better tires can be had, for the same price.

Go with the Dura Tracs, or upgrade to an M/T

Alot of the higher end M/T's offer about the same mileage with much better traction and looks.

I'm not sure there's an MT out there that can substitute an AT besides maybe the Duratrac. Plus if you have to deal with snow, MTs are horrible (except the Duratracs, which I heard were good).

I've started to hear about wet weather traction issues with Nittos, which surprised me.

It's hard to say. It all depends on the type of driving you do. On my work truck, a 2011 Dodge Ram 3500, the Goodyear Wrangler Silent Armor tires work great. On my F150 I have Goodyear Wrangler SRA's. I think they'd be crappy in mud and terrain, but for me they are great because my truck is by and large a town/highway truck so I like how they perform for my driving. Quiet and surefooted in town.

There are so many great tires these days, the only limits would be a person's budget.

BFG TA/KO, Nitto Terra's, Toyo AT's this is how I rank them having these tires in the past 6 yrs.

Definitely not the terra grapplers. They wear fast and suck in rain. Open country ats have the most comforting ride and great all around traction and are reasonably priced. Bfg ats will last forever but sometimes have vibrations at certain speeds. Mickey Thompson atzs are very aggressive looking for an all terrain but blowout once they have some decent mileage on them (I'd say 20k+). Pro comp ats come with a mileage warranty (something around 40k) which is always good. I would go with the toyo open country ats if I were you. IMO they are the best valued a/t with the perfect balance of performance and looks. In the end, it ultimately comes down to which tire you think will look best on your truck while also meeting your performance needs

My Nittos were a waste of $1100. Much better tires can be had for that money, like the BFG's and even Courser's. I went with Goodyear M/T's (around $1600) for the looks and was pleasantly surprised at the mileage and added traction on most surfaces over my previous nittos.

Not to be critical of Nitto, but my Kevlars outperform the Nitto's and BFGS in light to moderate snow(on pavement and off). Elevation here is around 5k, so in the winter its typical to see snow 4 or 5 times a week on average.

You can see our town down to the right... its kinda far off and a few thousand feet down.

I live in MN and have had the Terra's since december. I have had no issues with them and they were reasonably priced. (Got discount tire down to 187 per tire for 275/55/20) I have had no issues at all with mine.

That was a pretty good deal, I paid 267 each for the 305/70/17's

The big problem with BFG and Goodyear is that their LT tires are way overpriced. Same size BFG's were almost $400 more then the Nitto's for 4 tires, 20 inch diameter wheel's on my truck. No problem's in the rain for me with the Terra's and at almost 18k miles I have a lot of tread left. Mickey Thompson, Dick Cepek and Pro Comp have some nice all terrain tires too but with tires being so expensive it's hard to take a gamble on what's good and bad.
