AT's are all I have ran on my truck for the last 20 years.
When it gets to the point that I am driving in a lot of mud or snow I just stop and put the chains on.

Thank you everyone, I been looking at the BF GOODRICH ALL TERRAINS AND THE MUD TERRAINS. I'm retired so I don't drive my truck everyday so I think the tread would last longer, also if the situation gets bad I'm getting out and heading in, I'm not trying to get stuck because of my back and knees it's hard for me to put chains on, so it would be time for me to call it a day and head back into town.

Get them rotated more often than you would regular tires. More like every 2500 miles.

If you don't drive the truck that much you need to look at the actual lifespan of the tires themselves and not how much mileage you can get out of them.
I could be wrong but most tires should be replaced every 5 or 6 years because of their age weather they have 100 miles or 100,000 miles on them.
It is a lot like oil changes. Last year I drove my truck a little over 2,000 miles and that was all I had on it when I change the oil even if they say that I can go 5,000 miles on it.

I just turned 55,000 miles on my set of BF Goodrich A/T KO2's. The best I have done with an A/T or M/T tire. I rotate every 5,000 miles. They do not clean out mud quite as good as the M/T's but I feel they do better in the snow. They are also not as loud on pavement. The KO2's are better than the old A/T's as they have a more aggressive sidewall. BF Goodrich came out with a new Mud Terrain T/A KM3 that looks awesome. I have a few friends that swear by Toyo M/T's.

For the love of god dont buy the rugged terrain tires they sell.... If you do buy them you better buy a tire plug kit and an air compressor that runs on 12 v....
I put ~15 plugs in those tires from driving on dirt roads.
Tire shop guy looked at me like I was crazy when he took those tires off.
7 plugs in the 1 front tire alone if I recall...

Sounds like a defective tire.
This last December down in Arizona on my coues hunt my hunting partner put over a dozen plugs into one tire on his side by side. One time he pulled into a parking spot and backed up and you could hear the air coming out. I got out and looked everywhere his tire had been and didn't see a single thing that could of been causing it. It seamed like every time that we stopped we would be putting a plug into that one tire. We were close to having to head to a town to find some more plugs when I shot my deer.
On the compressor, anyone that travels off road in their vehicle should have a good one in it. I went through a couple of the $20-$40 ones before I picked up a Viair to refill tires. I also pack a good plugging kit with T handle reamer and plug inserter. When you are working on 8 or 10 ply tires you need every advantage you can get.
My last 3 sets of truck tires were the BFG mud terrain tires. I averaged 40-45,000 miles per set. Most of that was on pavement. They are a little noisy but if you want quiet tires get street tread. They work wonderfully in mud of course and they do very good in snow. I always get 10 ply rated tires and have never gotten a flat which was a common occurrence when I had C or D rated tires.
A lot of our chukar country has very sharp and jagged rocks and I never had a problem with cut tread or sidewall.
They are a little pricey but they are a quality tire that is still made in America.

I believe those Rugged Trail BFG tires are P rated tires and not LT truck tires. They aren't meant for any off-road travel. Mostly for taking the kids to soccer practice in the family suv.
You could get a flat by just looking at a dirt road.

Guy at the tire shop recommended them to me years ago. I fell for it.
Your right, but they are classified as a light truck tire.
