I had a set of BF Goodrich AT 35's on a 78 4x4 F100 that were great tires. Ideal for the loamy sand of south Georgia. When I moved up to Atlanta 26 years ago I found that they would load with the north Georgia red clay and I ended up with a set of Super Swampers that were so-so.

The tires listed are the tires from the 3 local shops that I will do business with. I will not buy anything from Walmart or items like tires from the warehouse clubs. The three businesses are local owned franchises. I want to stay with the stock size as I don't want the hassle of re-calibrating my speedometer. If I had a 4x4 I would go larger but with a 2wd stock size works.

But I also just got the April e-sales email from one of the tire stores and the Dunlop Grandtrek SJ6 just jumped to the top of the list as the price dropped to less than $100 per tire installed. It also has the most aggressive tread as it is a touring winter rated tire. The other thing about the selected tires is that the price range goes from $80ish to $140ish per tire installed. The crappy Wrangler's were about $135 a tire 3 years ago when I got them.
