i got my bfg's for 104 a tire at sears....plus an alinment after the tt and i was out the door for around 600 bucks. yours may be a little more $$$ due to the 16" rim.

i was told around $700 for the bfgs
 






i run bridgestone dueler revo A/Ts, 255 70 16. there's some pictures in my sig. they look pretty aggressive, and have handled rain, heavy snow, and mud really well so far. i think i paid about 140 each on tirerack.com
 






if you are serious about taking the truck offroad some i would stay away from the kelly safari tires....stick to the bfg...revos..or the geolanders....aggressive tread isnt everything..the humber of plys in the sidewall is also important for puncture resistnace.

I'm going to get these this weekend. I currently have the Pirelli Scorpions - they are WAY over rated :( I was impressed for about a week and then I realized their snow traction was not that great.
 






What do you think of the Goodyear Wrangler RT/S?

what about the walmart brand liberator? it seems like a pretty good deal on those and the tread is similar to the goodyears. i was told $480 out the door for good years and under 400 for the liberators with the warranty.
 






i love my cooper A/T discoverers..i was going to get BFGs but after some research i got these. good price also ;) alot of its personal preferance though :)

on my '69 c1500 i had the liberators (~30")on the front and the discoverers (31x10) on the back. i got them at different times and the prices were good. they were about the only thing i had available from the local shops back then. not a complaint with either, the discoverers lasted until i sold the truck and then they went on a '91 4Runner 4x4.

Has anyone tried these, I should be getting tires in a week or so and i'm looking at the liberators pretty hard. Any opinions?
 






I bought some Bridgestone Dueler REVOs a couple of weeks ago and absolutely love them. I've only gone about 2000 miles on them, but I have no complaints so far. Look into them. A little pricy, but if you buy 5 from a Firestone, you can probably get a real good deal. I bought 5 and got a $220 discount off the total price including the Road Hazard warranty. I think total was $830 for 5 265/70-16 mounted and balanced.
 






Nitto Terra Grapplers are what I consider the best AT tire. I've got them on my truck, and really like'em.

those look great, but i bet they cost you a small fortune for those 20's. my tires were bad enough at $600+.
 






I suggest Dick Cepek FCII's
Oh baby.
These A/T's look so sticky I am going to run them in Moab this year (33's) instead of my 35" half worn MTR's......
Cheaper then the KO, IMO a better alternative.

Thanks! Ya, 20 inch tires aren't cheap :( $277 each total with tax & shipping.

jeebus...good thing im a bigger fan of 15 inch wheels. those(dodge) are the only 20's that i think make a vehicle look better.

you'd think they'd be cheaper since there is more wheel and less tire. :D
