What pressure are you running them at? Maybe a 5 lb reduction will help them grab a little better.

My Opinion on your tires choices would sound as follows;

BF Goodrich M/T: Not personally fond of BFG's, and the lack of siping on these tires makes them alright off-road, but can cause issues on wet/icey/snowy roads.

Cooper Discovers S/T: I personally have a set of the new STT's on my '92 which did me awesome on wet and snowy roads and on what bit of off-roading I could before a collision with an '06 Excursion on a glare ice corner put my Bronc out of commision for a while (still waiting on the darned parts to come in!) The tread blocks are big and siped, the tread pattern is open enough to clean itself out without spinning madly, and they grip anything there is to grip (except again, the glare ice.)

Procomp M/T: ProComp are a good tire over-all from the reviews and studies I have read tell me, but have never run a set of them personally.

Other than that, my best advice is to weigh the cost vs. the attributes and get the best bang for your buck.

Hope this helped.

Gotta be honest, the tires you're looking at are more general purpose tires. A true mud tire is a whole different animal. The two that I've run (after spending a lot of time at the bogs talking to people) were the Denman Ground Hawg and the TSL Super Swamper. I've never been disappointed with either. As long as the engine is turning the wheels you keep moving, either forward or down, but you keep moving. Now you can also save some coin & buy more tire that you usually would by going with a bias ply tire instead of a radial. Radials are nice because they don't flatspot (after you've been driving for awhile the tire heats up quite a bit & gets soft. When you park the part that's actually in contact with the street gets a flat spot from the weight of the truck resting on just one place & then it cools down with that flatspot. When you come out in the morning & drive for the first 5-10 miles that flatspot is noticable in the way it rides. It's just something to be aware of, doesn't hurt the tire any.) but for the difference in price it can be a reasonable trade-off.

I prefer the directional tread on the Hawgs but I also appreciate the side-lugs on the swamper so it's kind of a wash. They both have a very aggressive tread & really sing when you drive, not everyone likes that but I do. With the 460 & those tires I never once failed to make a full run in 20+ competative events. I *have* dug myself down to the framerails a couple of times out on trails where they could just keep digging down once I lost forward motion, but that's why you run trails w/wingmen, and hey, that $hits not any fun unless someone gets stuck (sorta like a party isn't a party until something gets broke). On the other hand, neither tread does anything to help your milage.

my brother runs procomp m/t on his 74 bronco on the trail tires perform great air down to about 10 psi and they should keep you under 900 bucks. i believe that pro comp makes a better tire period over b f good rich. i ran both brands A/T's and the pro comps gave me a much better ride. and traction in the snow and wet roads

the new BFG M/T is garge with its new pattern, doesn't clean its self very well. i live in canada and we find them to ****, best tire me and my buddie have come across is the Good Year MT/R, best all around tire i have ever seen, awsome rock crawling, mint in the snow, not as good as a TSL or bogger in the mud, awseome wear charicteristics. little more then $1000 for them if your looking at 35 or bigger, biggest they come is in 37

I run about 35 psi in the winter time 40 in the summer. They just **** in snow because of the lack of siping and poorly maintained roads. I agree with broncobill on the tire choice for the money you just cant beat the intercos (super swampers) if you could manage to come up with an extra 200 the boggers would be the way to go

i would chek out the toyo my or the hankook dynapro mt the tire store i worked at sold a lot of those to people who use there trucks as daily drivers and go off road a good amount and the off road performance is very good and the street life is about as good as your gonna get out of mud tires i saw a set with 10000 miles on them and they look almost new and the hankooks are cheap there also smooth on the highway (for a mud tire) one guy said he had is truck up to 100 with no tire issues at all and he had 35-1250 toyo mts
