NOW THATS A LOADED QUESTION. I HAD THE GOODYEAR WRANGLERS ON A NEW TRUCK I BOUGHT (AN 89 SHORT STEP Z71) & I HONESTLY THOUGHT THEY WERE THE WORST TIRES FOR TRACTION THAT I'VE EVER OWNED, OR EVEN HEARD ABOUT....... BAR NONE.(WHEN I POPPED ONE OFF ROAD, I THRU AWAY THE OTHER THREE WITH OVER 1/2 OF THE TREAD LEFT) ON THE OTHER HAND......... I BOUGHT MY FIRST SET OF BFG RADIAL TAs (I RUN 11.5X32s) IN 1978 & HAVE BEEN USING THEM EVERY SENSE. NOW FOR ALL OUT MUD & SNOW, GO ANYWHERE TIRES WITH WEAR, NOISE, & COST NOT BEING A FACTOR....... I'LL TAKE THE TSL SUPER SWAMPERS EVERY TIME.
