I felt I got a good deal on my Goodyear Wrangler Authority A/Ts from Walmart--31's for $700 mounted. The tire worked extremely well on all surfaces I tried, including snow, dirt, rocks, some minor mud, and did very well on the street (although I didn't get any heavy rain to try them in). They have an aggressive tread, but run with only a slight hum on the pavement. They may be more aggressive than you need, but if you want good trail ability along with good road manners, they work well. I use the past-tense because I no longer have the vehicle they were on.

Great advice Dad! I'm still laughing!
I agree with the Kumho recommendation, I really like my Falken Rocky Mountain ATS (also called Wild Peak AT).

all vehicles should have boggers
I don't think they'd fit on my Honda Civic...

Bah. Boggers are for mud bogs, which any right-thinking person should avoid like the plague.
Redside, have a look at Treadwright retreads. Almost uniformly great reviews, and awesome prices. I haven't owned a pair yet, but I'm pretty sure that's what I'll be going with when my current set wears out.

Boggers are actually good in every type of terrains except ice and they only perform better when you cut and groove them.

Rock will tear them up, and they're horrible in sand. My ATs are great in everything but mud, and I don't care about mud.

One thing I've noticed when watching video of the "big guns" rock-crawling, the majority of them use mudders, even for rock-specific rigs. While I haven't read any "official" explanation, I would guess the larger voids between the lugs allows the tread to be able to wrap farther around the rocks than an AT tire with its smaller gaps. One plus with BFG's Mud TA (as well as their AT) is their 3-ply sidewall--it will take quite a beating on rocks. Snow, sand, and ice are where the AT's will outduel a mudder.

There's a big difference between an MT and a bogger, though. Think Duratrac MT-Rs vs a Super Swamper.

rocks do not tear up boggers, especially cut boggers they wrap around every nook and cranny. theyre hard to steer with on slick surfaces though so a lot people run boggers out back and TSL's up front.

I definitely agree, but I have seen even rock buggies with bogger-style tires, and other serious crawling rigs running stuff like Swamper TSL's. I don't know--they must really grab those rocks. Personally, I'll stick with my Mud T/As for all-around (MUCH quieter than bogger styles), and watch guys like you pull ahead of me in the snow drifts!
