New tire time

New tire time
The time has come for new tires. What I'm looking for: decently agressive, all terrain tires good in all weather and snow and sometimes mud. Oh yea, I don't want to break the bank either.
Pedro recommend BFG A/T's which is what I was already considering. Anyone else got an opinion?
Btw, I'm using my stock tear drop rims unless someone can recommend an affordable set of rims that would look good on my truck.
I'm on phone until I get Internet at my apartment so I can't attach pics right now.
Yes. I know this topic is beat to death, but I'm on my phone, I don't feel like searching.

Well after talking to Pedro again, the Mickey Thompson classic 2s in black aren't that expensive.
I'm looking at 4 BFG A/T's 32" and 4 MT black classic 2's for right at $1000, which isn't bad at all
I will have to get a camber kit when I fix my alignment too.
Will the BFG's need to be driven for a bit before I get them balanced?
Can someone photoshop these wheels onto my truck?

id fourth the bfg's.... BUT i found a new tire that has much better all around performance, and gets better MPG.
I used to have 33x10.5 BFG AT's. I got about 460 per tank. Bumped up to Falken Wildpeak's in a 33x12.5, and i get 500 per tank average. they ride nicer, much smoother, no issues whatsoever. (other then the shop i got them from doing a horrid job balancing them. They clear mud better, they dont hydroplane like the BFG's, and have a harder tread that has more grip and is wearing better.

Does anyone think it would be worth going with a 33"? I might be able to get a better deal at a certain shop since I'll avoid shipping.
Also, a local tire shop got the idea in my head that American eagle wheels series 185 wheels would look better. They would only be about $20 more a wheel.

But as far as my input goes... I know they are totally unagressive looking, but my Michelin LTX AT/2 have done great for me. I have driven in rain, in grass, standing water, a little mud, they have never slipped. They do look pretty good but are really not all that agressive looking. It does have kind of a knobby edge that I like.
