I looked a little after seeing some good reviews. I was looking primarily at the Big Foot XT until I got a quote.... they wanted $200 a tire installed for 235/75 R15. For that much I'll get a Wrangler MT/R or BFG's. I ended up with the Cooper STT... they rock
That was the thing with Big O when I lived in SoCal. They had some nice tires but for the extra they wanted for their "excellent warranty" I could have gotten much larger tires. Ended up at Discount Tire.
Maplebar, where'd you get the Coopers? When I lived there, 97-01, you couldn't find a Cooper tire dealer without going to Escondido.
Not to mention Big O is NOT country wide. There's big sections of the country that don't have Big O dealerships...so plan for that.
I'll say it again, if you want to hit the mud SKIP AT's. Most AT's will suck in the mud within a few feet.
