AT or MT? I love my Federal Couragia MT's. 35x12.5R20, mounted, balanced, and road hazard for $1200 out the door from Firestone. They're wearing well with about 25,000 miles on them.

I agree with tareed94, the Federals look mean, and I have a few friends running them. They do ride nice and aren't very loud. Check out some prices, far cheaper than tires that somewhat rival them.

Depends on what "YOU" like. Example; A lot of guys like a DuraTrac, I prefer the olde BFG A/T. See what I mean?

The tread on the General Grabber AT2 looks a lot like the BFG KO2 and is a good bit cheaper.

I had 35X12.5 Nitto Trail Grappler M/T on my last RAM, when I traded the truck with 50,000 miles they still had around 1/4 tread left. Nice smooth ride and quiet for what they were. The Lariat before the RAM I had Mud Grapplers, one of the loudest tires I have owned, and they were heavy. I have had many brands, all I can say is you get what you pay for, cheaper tires are OK, but haven't had as smooth of a ride and wear a bit faster.

Default Mpg up?

Rarely have I heard of mpg going up with bigger tires. You must have low gearing. Mine always goes down. Did you reprogram your speedometer?

I don't see anyone talking about mpg?
