I have the Pro Comp MT's and they are loud but ok. KP has the X-terrains and they work great. I have head nothing but negative things about the AT's, the guys on SiS call them Pro- Craps. For a street only tire, they would be ok, but almost every rig in New England runs MT's (except ROCK). If you plan to use your rig off road, I highly recommend MT's.

I have these and cannot recommend them if you want to wheel on them. They are fine in the snow and Ok on the street. But when i move up to 35's, i will be getting BFG's...either the AT or MT.
That is a good price, but they do not eject mud from the treads at all....meaning I slide alot and get no grip on wet rocks in New England.

if u get AT's ur gonna regret it and wish u would have gotten MT's, MT's preform just fine on the road i put 30,000 miles on the MT's on my truck and never had an issue.

I do agree that MTs are the way to go but in Rocks defense if your going to go with ATs then the BFGs are the only way to go. I have gone through 2 sets of BFG ATs, got 70+k out of each set & till up to 70k they performed great. Even in mud just get some wheel speed & the tread will clean out good(not as good as a MT tire tho) But will last longer. A MTs tire life is short. Rotate,Balance & alignment are very important to a tires life. Must rotate & check balance EVERY 6K(NO LESS) or strange tire wear will occur & that is where tires get noisy then rapid tire wear starts to occur.

I've got a set of A/T's that I use for everyday driving, I swap them off with the original tires that came with my Rubi when I'm going out for somke fun. The A/T's are quiet on the road but trying to crawl up rocks I find them lacking.

X2 on what both Kirk and Bob said, I only run the AT's because I got a great deal on them, but i work them hard, and you'll be happy to know, I picked up a set of khmo's (?) 35" MT's. now I just need to build a front axle strong enought to handle them!!!!

I ran AT's on my XJ and it was like running a drag slick. Specifically the Pro Comps. I would never recommend them to anybody unless it was a street tire. I run Mickey Thompson MTZ's (35") on my Rubicon and I dont think I've ever had them clog up. 2 years and still have 75% tread with little to no chunking. I'd buy them again.
