I've had bad luck with BFG casings mixed with hauling (A/Ts). I think they are fine for an SUV or Jeep, but I consider them a novelty tire on a truck. I haven't used either of the other two, but have run MTRs and other Coopers. I think the Goodyears are known for getting hard and ride hard in time. Mine got really old and certainly got that way. I've been liking the Cooper brand in recent years. I've gotten good service from their A/T (A/P I think, but years ago) and their Discoverer S/Ts, which they changed. I think all three you have landed on would be where I'd land on searching for new rubber. All good companies
