Good tire?

I was looking for a good tire that looks agressive that lasts a good amount of miles. I am looking for something a little more agressive looking than the all terrain BF's. Thanks a bunch

Have you had good luck with your all terrains?
I am firm believer in the BFG tire, and like the performance and driving characteristics from all of the T/A's.
For a more aggressive tire, you may consider stepping up to the BFG mud terrain. I have enjoyed many miles with these, and there is not much of a compromise with regards to noise, and such like many other tires in this category. Good load ratings, and a quality tire that works very well off road, and is still a pleasure to drive on the street.

I have had a great experience with the Perelli Scorpions ATR's! great treat wear, great traction and and all around great tire. A tad more then the BFG's, but if you are looking for something different, I would chose those.

I drive with the Goodyear ATS (Wrangler) during the summer and the BFG all terrain in the winter. What I've noticed about the BFG's is that they are a loud and stiff tire. They get great traction in the winter, but have a very stiff sidewall. The Goodyear tire is a great all around tire in my opinion. They are much quieter (if the noise bothers you) and last for many miles.....+55k. The problem is that I don't think they make them anymore, but you might be able to get them on ebay or something. I think they make an updated version now....which I think is not as aggressive looking. I'm on my second set of these tires. Every spring when I switch back to the Goodyear, I really notice how loud and stiff the BFG's were compared to the Goodyears. They look aggressive, too. The BFG mud terrains may be too soft a tire for street driving and may wear quicker. The reason I have both tires is that I have custom rims for the summer and didn't want to mount and rebalance every year.....plus I get to try different tires.

NITTO Dune Grapplers, those are some good looking tires, at the same time, dont have a huge tread to rob you of mileage, but still off road worthy.

I have a set of courser mastercraft MT's on my truck and I love them! I have just under 20000 miles on them and they have another 10000 to 15000 left on them just have to keep them rotated. They are not to bad in price either.

it snowed here last night for all but the first time this year. And I was out playing.....lol. and I was very impressed with the tires I have on my blazer. They are the Bridgestone Duelers AT's. I wish I could take ownership, but they were on the truck when I bought it.... anyways, they definitely have a very aggressive look to them, and they had impressive traction, at least I thought so anyways, and they make all but NO road noise. I know I mentioned earlier about the Perelli's, and I still think those are awesome tires, but I had to mention these too. I have put almost 15k on them, and they still look brand new, like they have no wear, so I think they will last for a while.

the new BFG baja champions i have on my tahoe are pretty chunky looking. I've always used BFG's and swear by them. best part is they are extreeemely quiet on paved surfaces. i'll post back if i can find a part number for them.. bfg's website sucks bawls and i can't find them.

Edit: found them
