Edit: Just looked on Treaddepot.com
BFG AT/K02 285/75/16 $231
GY Wrangler Duratrac 285/75/16 $228
Cooper Discoverer AT/3 (the only one warrantied at 55k) $171

I've run BFG AT's for many years I've never gotten great ware out of them but have like them. I went with Cooper AT3's a few years ago for the van because of the savings. They where the biggest POS tires I've ever owned!!! got like 17K out of them, with rotating.
Cooper Discoverer AT/3's SUCK!!!!! DONT DO IT!!!
I went with Duratracs this time around on my f350. Here's my review. I have loved the Duratracs as far as traction, thy are way better in ice and snow, and run fine on the road. They look sweet! The down side for me when compared to the BFG's is thy are a little softer and the side walls flex more. I noticed a little more swaying when I was towing 14K dump trailer etc. They seam to ware a bit faster then the BFG's but not that much. I also got to say that I jumped up a size from a 295x75x16 BFG to a 305x75x16 Duratrac so that might have added to the sidewall sway a bit? Overall, For traction I'd go Duratrac. for towing I might go back to BFG's for millage.. go get a street tire it's almost a wash on a 7000 lb truck with these type of tires.
