I have 265/70/R16 General Grabber tires on my X. This is my daily vehicle. I use it mostly on freways, but occasiaonlly wonder in the woods, sand, and snow. I have few questions.
1 - Should I upgrade or stick with stock tires?
2 - If upgrade is suggested, should i go with LT285/75/R16? They do fit, but does that do to your steering/balancing/uneven wear? Can they cause a damage to the steering components and void the warranty?
3 - I have a selection between GoodYear, Toyo, BFG, Nitto. Nitto comes with 10ply, guys in the shop advised against instlaling 10ply on X as the vehicle is too light for 10ply, it will ride as a wagon on the frreway. 8ply is suggested as accepatble.
4 - 8ply BFG AT of that size runs at $210/tire. Toyo runs 192/tire. I read prevois posting about suggesting BFG tires. I like them, but they appear most expensive. Why BFG? What does BFG have that others do not have?

Please suggest what I should install and why, if any. I tried my stock tires in the deep snow at Mount Hood last night, they performed very well.

from my understanding bfg is a better tire for mud but i like the mt not the at but like you said it is your dd like mine is

BFG AT's have the best onroad manners, and they last forever. Many people will get 60-80k miles out of one set. TJ runs them, and swears by their performance.

They are also better in snow and sand than a MT. Snow because they will provide more traction, and sand because they won't dig down.

Right good explaining anthony i am going to go with the mt do to the fact that we verry rarly have snow and i live by the beach but i think i have went one time in the last 2 years....... all i play in is mud......
