My Big-O AT/MS 285/70/R17’s beat my Grappler G2’s any day. I could do unexpected donuts in my grabbers. Now I have to try to spin my tires with my Big-O 10-ply’s. Also, they are $100-$200 cheaper depending on who you know. Especially in snow.
For looks and off road my favorite is the BFG Ko2. For pure road driving it would be Hankook Dynapro. The Ko2's really aren't the best on wet pavement.
