Default New Tires for me....

I'm looking at getting some new tires for my truck. I'm going to get size 285/70/R17. What is the best bang for your buck tire out there now? I have been looking at either the Goodyear Wrangler or the BFG T/A KO. Does anybody have an opinion on either tire or a suggestion of a new one to consider?

Thank you in advance for all of your help.

Markus

On various trucks I have had 6 sets of BFG A/T's and had nothing bad to say about any of them. My work truck has Goodyear Wranglers (low bid) and they are horrible. Three sets and none have rode well or balanced worth a darn.

BFG KOs are the best All Terrain tires I have ever had.
