Time to choose my new shoes....HELP!

Ok I know have the funds for some new rubber and these are the 3 im debating:
1. Nitto Terra Grappler 325/70/17 (35x13.5x17)
2. BFG M/T KM2 35x12.5/17
3. Super Swamper IROK Radial 35x14.50/17
OK so heres the deal Like most I do my driving on the highway but all winter long im hunting in various (raw land) ranches and some hunting in colorodo. SO,
Nittos- I like the Nittos as the A/T choice cause I like the wide look plus its a true 35 inches as per the Nitto web site and it will last me much longer than the other 2 but way less traction when I need it.
BFG's- Im a BFG fan and love the new design. Its got a little of both worlds but its not gonna give me the mileage or the hard core IROK look and offroad capability.
IROK's- Ive been wanting these from the beginning. Ill put a pic up of a truck I go off of. Anyway, Ill get low mileage off of them and i seem to hear more bad than good about them. They would be perfect for the hunting terrain. I love the road noise so that doesn't bother me.
This is not my truck just a demo of the IROKS that will give an idea of why I want them.



I need some swaying. Maybe there is something I dont know that will help.

I would go with the BFG's, they look sweet and I would imagine if you take care of them, proper psi and rotated regularly they will last you at least 40k. I have heard a lot of people that dont get a lot more than that out of TG. Also, yeah the Iroks look cool and there is one member on here, i think it is nooq that says that he has got good mileage out of his.....the key is just to make sure that you rotate them regularly and have the proper psi in them.

Yeah pretty much Id need to rotate them more than I change my oil I guess but sometimes I procrastinate and those rocks would let me know it im sure. Its tough now that I know every place within 20 miles that has them all instock right now and the money is jumping out of my wallet! Im just at a brick wall. It really is hard for some reason. Guess im obsessed.

Man, I know it is one of the hardest decisions to make......in the end no matter what you will second guess it, you just have to do it....any of those would look great.

BFG, i wouldnt put Terra Gapplers on a bigger truck like that. Iroks are louder and havent heard anything good about them mileage wise.

Absolutely the new BFGs. Nobody else will have them, plus they look great, are reliable, should wear well, and the people who have them so far like them a lot.

Go with Toyo M/T, they are the best of all. I dont know by experience but they look the best

I went up to Dicount Tire today and actually looked at a Nitto 325/70/17 next to my BFG's and they really dwarf them. I meen those Nittos almost look like 37's. I have so far 3 places that ive priced and the winner so far is a family owned dealer and they quoted me out the door/mount&balance/tax=$1070. Ill take it but................KM2!?!?!?!?! Oh yeah ive ruled out those IROKS.
