Question Which Tires (Need Help Fast)

Hello to all,
I just ran across a great deal on a set of tires, but I am crossed between the two. Should I get the Pro Comp M/T's or the BF Goodrich M/T's. There is only a $21.00 difference between the two. Which tire will give me the best wear, and traction on/off road. And should I get a 16" or 16.5" wheel?Any advice will be greatly noted.

Thanks for your time,
Darren

They are about the same tire......so save the money where you can.......stick with the 16s........as most auto makers are dropping the 16.5.........Dave

big4x4,
i can't talk about the pro-comps, but i can say plenty about the bfg muds. long-lasting and not too loud. not great in deep mud, but what is except boggers, right? anyway, decent traction. if you can justify having mud tires these are great. i have read where the sidewall is much thicker than the pro-comp tires, also. i would have the mud t/a's on my truck now if i hadn't seen the gy mt/r's. i had to try out the new tires. good luck with your decision, Rich.
