ATZ, BFG AT, or Cooper S/T

Out of the Mickey Thompson ATZ, BFG All Terrain, and Cooper S/T(not the STT), which one of these all terrains will get the most miles out of them? Also, if you've ran these, tell me how many miles you got out of a set. Thanks. I'm really leaning toward the ATZ's because I love the look of them.

Definitely the BFG. You can easily get 60k out of them.

x2 on the BFG'S. I have gotten 60k out of the easily by routinely rotating them and keeping an eye on the air pressure.

The BFG will last the longest. That can be good and bad. If the tires suck, you'll be wish they would wear out sooner to replace them. While they don't suck, there are better all terrain tires on the market.

The BFG's are a good highway tire and maybe a dirt or gravel driveway, but if you get into the least little bit of mud they cake up on you and they will not clean themselves out. They were on my jeep when I bought it and I hated every minute they were on there.

The BFG's perform very well for an AT in the mud. Yours must have been worn down or something.

I have the Cooper S/T with about 30,000 on them right now. They still have about 1/2 tread on them. The last set i ran on my 98 f150 lasted 55k and i replaced them before winter... they could have went another 5-10k of summer driving. IMO I really like these as i have tried the BFG A/T and they seemed to round off the sides pretty quick even with normal 9k rotations.

9,000 mile rotations arent normal. You should rotate your tires every 3-6k.

I want an aggressive looking tire but have no need for a mud terrain. That's why i've narrowed it down to these three.

Maybe in Illinois but def. not here. They had 1200 miles on them when I got it. As for rotations I rotate every 2,000 miles.

I've got over 14K miles on my BFG's and they show very little wear, only have been rotated once. Great tires if you only offroad once and awhile. I would check out the Nitto and Toyo AT's also.
