Hey All,
Just looking for some opinions on what tires to buy. I don't do all that much off roading anymore since I am busy with work. I do however spend some time in the woods. I do alot of fishing and driving to the hunting cabin and stuff. Also being in Northeast PA winter time can suck.

I currently have Yokohama Geolandar A/T-S 265/75/16 They lasted me very long. I drive about 50 miles a day to work. I'm really thinking of getting them again. I like the more "aggressive" look but I really don't wanna spend to much. I'm probably gonna get them online since most stores around me won't have what I want.

Just looking for some ideas. Any help is greatly appreciated.

I've liked the Geolanders. If you're happy with their performance and lifespan, I would stick with them versus trying something else that may not perform as well.

Ko's or Durratracs... Both have a aggressive look for a AT both ride quiet like a AT
With the KOs you know your going to get 50K to 80K thats alot of miles... The Duratracs are still new.. But I know guys that have 20K on them and you cant tell it...
Good luck and post up some pix after the fact

Yeah thanks guys. I was pretty surprised with the performace when I bought them last time. I got every bit of 50k out of them. I missed a rotation towards the end of life. So my rears are a little beat now. Which is why I wanna get new ones soon.

I think you guys made up my mind.

I agree with Drake and David both. If you are happy with what you have why not buy them again. If you are looking for a diffrent tire you can't go wrong with the BFG AT KO. The tire life is great!

Duratracs are the shiznit! They're AT's with a very aggressive look. I've seen a few shops have buy 3 get one free deals with them.

I've heard the life of the duratracs are comparable to the KO's

but nothing is truly comparable in tread wear..

BFG's can go 60,70,80,90k

I'm with a few of the other guys here, why mess up a good thing? If you want to try something new just for kicks, with a small price in mind, I'd recommend the Hankook RF10 ATM. This is a great tire for your money and it would do well in PA.
