I can't really add much Jim, but I can say that locally, Toyo and Coopers have a solid rep. The BFG KOII's are considered the toughest off road tires out there now.
At least that's what I hear from my local tire dealer. I've known them and lots of their customers for several years and they have the rep of being straight shooters when it comes to tire advice.
Are you likely to encounter much in the way of icy roads where you'll be going ? I ask because alot of off road designs don't do well on icy roads. E
