I've had 3 sets of bfg mt's on 3 different rigs, great tire for off road but not the best for the street. They're on the loud side and don't have the best handling compared to other mt's.
I run the bfg at's on my f-150, and my family has proly had 4-5 sets of these on 4-5 different vehicles. By for the best tire for a daily driver that see's most of the time on the pavement but can do really well off-road too. A friend of mine runs them on his xj and he does some serious rockcrawling with them and they hang with the rest of us running mt's. They have really impressed me.
I ran the goodyear mtr's on my toyota (37's) and absolutely loved them, much better than when it had the bfg mt's. Very quite and great traction off road (especially slick rock), but they're not the best in deep mud.
Two of my buddy's had the PJ's (36's) both on 1500 chevy's, they both hated them. They got about 20k miles out of them, I wouldn't recommend them, I've never heard good things about them.
The Toyo mt's seem like a good all around tire, but they are a little more pricey. I've known some guys only getting 20k miles out of them on diesels though. But that's just what they told me.
3 of my friends have had coopers and I'll have to say they are the worst tire ever made, imo. One on a 1500 chevy, one on a 53 willy's rock crawler, and one on a cj7. They were really loud, handled absolutely horrible and had absolutely no traction. All three of them had different model coopers too, so I would say the coopers in general have these problems. There new model tire that came out not too long ago might be better though, haven't had any experience with it, .....and don't really ever want too.
One of my buddy's just got some pro-comp extreme a/t's a couple of weeks ago (35's on a 1500 chevy) and they are bad azz. The tread is not quite as aggressive as a m/t but a lot more aggressive than a a/t. I think they're proly one of the best choices for a daily driver that will still see quite a bit of off roading. They are super quite on road and handle really good. Plus they have a 40k warranty, and up to 50% tread wear is a no questions asked free replacement if some thing happens (even if you slash your own tires, as the 4 wheels parts salesman told us, lol). Plus every other month pretty much 4 wheel parts does buy 3 get 1 free which makes them really cheap. The 4 wheel parts tech guys said that they have been seeing 50k + miles out of these tires even on lifted diesels, which is really impressive for such big and heavy trucks. They recommended these tires hands down to any of the other tires.
Hope that helps. That's just my experiences and my close friends, other's might have different opinions though, and that's cool.
