I think i want an all terrain tire that will be nice on the highway and still be capable off road. any ideas?
These are the tires a few people recommended: BF Goodrich All Terrain T/A KO (235/85R-16) dose anyone have experience with these tires on their rovers?
Thanks

The BFG 235/85/16 is exactly what I have on my 88. They are the old style, not the KOs. I like them alot. Great onroad, quiet. Really good in the dirt and rocks. Deep sand they need to be way aired down. One of my frequent areas to play is a huge sand dune with dirt/rock hillclimbs all around it. Their weak spot is mud. I'd say they're fair to poor in bad mud. The tread loads up. I get very light rubbing on the front springs at full lock. I run an original 88 suspension that has @ 5000 miles on it. Compared to the Pro Comp muds and radial Swampers I've run on my other 4X they aren't even in the same league for mud. For what I use my Rover for the BFGs work very well for me.
