The long trail is essentially a street tire. It is almost as useless as the stock badyears in anything more complicated than wet grass. My Boss had a set on his truck, hated them...

I just checked at Sam's Club.. It's not the original BFG AT.. But they have
the newer Long Trail TAs' for $93.48 each (for the size you wanted).
I had them on my last Dak and they was very happy with them.
