Question Which tire would you choose?

BFG AT KO 265 70 17 for $161

or

Goodyear ATS 265 70 17 for $147

Both are supposed to be the premium tire.

Opinions?

For a 2003 Tahoe.

TIA

Hey, I appreciate the help. Looks like BFG all the way....I can't judge a tire on looks....but the BFG's do look like a 4 wheel drive tire.

do they make a 275/70/17 that way you get a little more height, goodyear has this size and I had them onj m old Burb looked great, but I do like BFG's a little better.

I'm assuming this is for a 4wd tahoe? If so, here's another vote for the BFG AT KO's. I run them on my jeep as a street tire and they are the best all terrain tire I've ever used. They have good tread life, are fairly quite, and also kick *** in the snow!

I was amazed at how quiet they were too. They actually grip fairly well on the street too.

I was gonna go with the BFG AT KO but come across the Bridgestone dueler A/T revo. The price was better and so was the rating. http://www.tirerack.com/tires/tires....ler+A%2FT+Revo
