Kyle you can't go wrong with the BFG AT/KO's. Awesome, truly awesome! Been
running em for about 4-mo's and they were a huge improvement in the snow and wet
traction areas and I've been in some Minnesota mud up to the lower door panels!
I do not have a limited slip or locker (as of yet) and I walked right through
the stuff! I don't know about wear or tire life, but if traction is important
to you, these things Rock!
