good tires?

Can anyone give me some suggestions for some good tires? other than street i do dirt and sand. not really any rocks if i can help it and no big mud bogs, just a couple little mud holes maybe an occasional small stream.

i know BFG A/Ts are highly reccomended. but i would like to look into some alternatives as it seems almost everyone has these. I love the look of M/Ts but i doubt they would be practical to buy for sand(i wouldnt think they would do well...). I also had my eyes on the Kumho KL710s but again being a M/T i dont know how they would do. Ive read a lot of mixed reviews for Pro Comp tires.

hopefully this is enough info, basically anyone who drives a lot of sand/dirt please let me know about your experience.

also it would probably be in a 33x12.5x15 size.

thanks in advance!

i know with my old beat up 4.0... i still break my 35x1250 MTZs loose easy, i was trying to catch a 250 on a dirt road the other night.. wasnt working too well haha


i have used the Nittos they went almost everywhere i wanted them to go. i know a TON of people are going to say BFGs

umm i would hope to stay below like $160 per tire if possible because i would have to get wheels(only have 15x7s now :/ ).

i mean if BFG A/Ts are actually THAT good ill look into them more, but id like some good alternatives if possible. i ya know what i mean.

one last question. are there any drawbacks with using narrower tires? i noticed BFG has a 33x10.5 size that would allow me to use my current wheels.
