It's my pot and I'll stir it if I want to. If you're not careful, I'll stir your's as well!

How about Yokahama? I have recently installed a set, but in a larger dia than you are looking at, and so far prefer them over my old BFG's.

Yokahama Tires
I looked at Yokahama fifteen inch tires for our GMC half ton pickup and they did not seem like sturdy tires to me, so I put Silent Armor on the GMC pickup and I am sure happy I went with Goodyear. The GMC pickup went through two sets of Firestone Tiger Paw P rated tires and they did not seem like real sturdy tires. The Fountain Tire dealer told me the vibration in our steering wheel when braking hard was from the Firestone belts not being wide enough to cover the total width of the tire tread. The Tiger Paws still had an eighth of an inch to wear before reaching the wear bars.

Consumer Report has an article in their Nov. issue. In AT tires, Michelin LTX AT2 recived this best treadlife rating. Silent Armor was #2. The Goodyear performed better in snow. They did not measure mud, go figure. They seem to rate their tires more for street performance. I have 25k or so on my Silent Armors and have been very pleased with all aspects. I have not seen much ice.
50k out of any set of tires on these rigs is not bad. If you get a higher milegage tire like the Michelin, their is usually a trade off .
The top 4 Allseason, 1. General grabber hts 2. conti crosscontact 3 kuhmo road venture 4. cooper discover cts.
Again, this is Consumer Report, for what it is worth.

Made a stupid typing error.
