so i need new tires this year. maybe late this year. and i cannot decide which ones to get. the Hankook Dynapro M/ts or the Goodyear Dynatracs. both are E rated in 315/75 R16. i keep trying to find deals but both are about the same prices. maybe $10 off here and there. ugh! the only reason i wouldnt get these tires would be if i find a nother deal on other tires on craigslist or something. but which tire would you recommend? o and i did all this with my eyes closed sinse i had something in them. haha

i have cooper discoverer STT's on my explorer and i really like them. very low on noise and seem to be wearing well. i get a great deal on coopers localy so i dont know if it would be worth it to you to look at them. but i've had mine since '07 and really like them.

the only thing i hear about those that i dont like is if you drive on the street a lot then do off road every now and then then back on to street they wear out really quick. they are either street or off road. not both.

idk about the nittos. the dune grapps are good for dunes and street, but so much hard packed. i saw a few at tds and all they did is slip. haha the trails are good, but EVERYONE has them on f150online, and the mud grabs are dogs. they HOWL! dont want that. and MTs are pricy. thats why i was looking at these 2 tires. not too pricey and i bet i could find a deal some where. idk where though.

I have the AT-Ms. not the MTs. But they are sooooo quite on the pavement, and have been extremely great in the snow and ice, and whenever I go muddin.

i've really only driven them on-road, 20k miles so far and hardly any wear so far.

Having good tires is the key, but as far as my BFG ATs go, the only time I've been let down is when I lose clearance in snow. Otherwise they have had great traction, and I've never had to use 4 wheel in mud. I'm sure I'll find their limits someday, but for now, I'm very happy with my BFGs

i got a gf. she does the same stuff! haha then they make us feel like the ass! haha but yeah. i like my bfgs their just a little over rated for the price i think. and i want an E load and the bfgs are really pricey at 35s on E load. its cheaper for the hankooks and goodyears. so idk. which ever i get a good deal on. ill shop around a bit. go check out 4 wheel parts, orw, performance express and discount tire.
