Pahntr: I was aware of the Falken, but I based my choice on local knowledge and local conditions.

I talked to local people who were doing what I want to do and asked them about their tires.

I also spent a lot of time looking at pickups in parking lots, and paying particular attention to those with scratched paint and enough dirt to satisfy me that these owners do take their vehicles off the pavement.

BFG ATs are not the only tire of choice here, but there are a lot of them. I do see Falkens as well.
