BFG KO2 or Cooper STT Pro. I currently run the Cooper's. More aggressive for the places I go than the BFG's

Could you give what kind / size truck they would be on?
For my Chevy 2500HD CC SB the Firestone Transforce AT have been the best, 55,000+. I have tried the Transforce HT and General Grabber AT2 and they didn’t wear as long. The Grabber AT2 had great winter traction but didn’t make it to 35,0000

Forever in debt to my Father who introduced me to trapping. May I be half the man he was.

I drove a lot of roads with sharp, white rocks. The only tires I had luck with were the Firestone Destination A/T or Transforce A/T. They are 10 ply, all-season tires.

I bought four sets of Cooper, originally just two sets of tires but on each set a tire failed, so I had to buy a new set because of sure grip rear end and four wheel drive, there was 30% or so worn when tires failed. I arrived in wy for my trapping trip, I got a flat with brand new Cooper, 10ply, I took worn out Michelin spare tire out and when worn out Michelin was next to brand new Cooper I could see the Cooper was about an inch shorter than nearly bald Michelin, same number on tires, I figured I lost at least a mile per gallon in my gas mileage
