Well......I have tried to stay out of this, but as the BFG tire expert here (at least in my mind) I have to toss in my .02
I was getting 100K miles plus out of my 31" A/Ts on my Ranger.
I get about 50K out of my M/Ts on the Jeep (when I drove it that much)
The BFG A/T is a very capable tire that never let me down, I would not run it in deep mud, but would not hesitate to run it anywhere else. It is hands down the winner if you are running mostly on street.
The M/T is a great tire, it will not do well on ice or light snow, or wet pavement, but anywhere off-road you can't lose. I have run them exclusively on my Jeep and will never run another tire on an off-road rig.
In your case, I would go A/T and deal with the restrictions on mud. You will be very happy.

This is a tread thread, afterall.
Unless you have enough HPs to power out of it, mud will likely reduce any tread pattern to a slick. I try to avoid mud now that I've been stuck one too many times.

Smart choice on the size! I really wish other companies would make more in that size.... *going with the same once these 31's wear out or get sold off*

can I get an idea of what you paid? The 33x10.5 are appealing to me, and my 34x9.5s have reached the end of their life.

I am running 31's BFG AT's on daughters XJ, great DD and will work on most trails - go with them for all round useage IMHO.
I'm going to have to take a hard look at how yours perform @ WF. I stay away from the deep mud mostly, so I'm not too concerned there. I want something that grips on the rocks. I always had to spin the TSL's and it resulted in a lot of chunking.
I think I'd like to stay Bias Ply though for the durability aired down.

I assume you don't drive the truck on the street much? I loved the 34x9.5 SS's off road, but on road, they were borderline SCARY!
