BFG
Will chime in here and vote for the BFG. I run 265 75/R16s on 2010 FJ Cruiser wheels (7.5" wide). The BFGs wear like iron on gravel and dirt roads, not so good on ice or snow. Very little road noise when highway driving.
The BFG KM2 in a 255/85 is an E rated tire. I live in Texas, and ranch for a living. I spend a lot of time driving through pastures covered in mesquite trees. It is my opinion that this is by far the best tire for my application. I have run coopers, maxis, goodyears, and nittos and have been very disappointed with all of them. I am on my 4th set of km2s on a 1 ton truck that I pull 32 foot trailers with, and have gotten 45-50k miles out of each set.
On another note, the worst tire I have ever owned is the Goodyear mtr with Kevlar. I got 17k miles out of them, and they were bald.
Just my $.02!
