BFG AT vs TOYO AT

I plan on ordering my tires this week but am having trouble deciding between BFG AT's and TOYO AT's. I never ran any of the Toyo's but have ran 2 sets of the BFG's. I am very anal about tire pressure and rotating them that may be the reason I got almost 70,000 miles on each set before I traded the trucks off. The Toyo's are $50.00 - $60.00 each cheaper but not sure if that is enough savings to switch to Toyos ir not. What do you guys think?

Thanks,
Bill

All of my buddies run toyos and they always change them out for snow tires for winter because they suck in the snow,but all my buddies that have bfg a/ts run them year round because they do pretty well in the snow.So if you want a toyo a/t street tire that last a long, long time but you will be driving with the soccer mom cars in the snow trying to look cool while your sliding into the ditch or assholeing somebody.The bfgs will still look the same and wear almost as long but you will be able to use them in al most all conditions witch is kind of nice.The toyo m/ts are kind of cool but they dont last as long as the a/ts but we are talking about a/ts anyway,so I would take the bfg a/t over the toyo a/t for all season any day unless you like tires that work good on a suburu outback.
