Pathfinder tires?

I usually always buy my tires at Discount Tire. I would like the BFG AT's but they're $176 each! Now they also have these Pathfinder AT's. I was wondering if anybody has ever run these and how did they perform, wear,traction, overall how satisifed were you? Here is a link to compare here are the Pathfinders http://www.discounttire.com/dtcs/fin...70&ct=&rf=true

here are the BFG's just to compare

Shop around. You should be able to find BFG A/Ts in a comparable size way cheaper than $176. IMO, the Pathfinder tire in the picture looks more 'street' than 'all terrain'.

one of the guys i work with whos on here also had those tires on his ranger....
(i also work at discount) imo you should shoot for a 265 size tire anyways...probably not the bfg as they are bad about cupping out and not balanceing worth a crap...they are very over priced to...maybe look at a kumho or somthing idk about those pathfinders i dont really like them

Pathfinder tires suck do not get them I have them on my truck, they are stating to wear funny they dont perform that well and they just dont look good either. Spend the money on the BFG's or trythe Kumho

I know I should get the BFG but they're expensive. I know you get what you pay for. How about these Bridgestone Dueler A/T 693 tires? I've hear here and there that they're pretty decent? Thanks

I live around 35th ave. and Greenway. I usually go to the store up on 43rd and Bell or the one near 16th Ave and Bell. I'd be willing to travel thoguh if I can save a few bucks. I probably won't get new tires for a month or so but I like to know what I'm getting into before it's too late . I don't like to be rushed or pressured when spending a decent amount of $$$.
