If you mean brand name, I have had a lot of great luck with Mastercraft tires since I moved to the south in 85...I have not had a 4x4, but have used 31x10.5's on one of my past trucks and loved them.
A couple of my friends have older f150/250 4x4's and use them and seem to like thema a lot also. Not sure how prominent the They are sold through Coastal Enerrgy and Tire in my neck of the woods, don't know if they are big in your area or not. They do see to surviuve real well in the southern heat...leaves those firestones way behind. Here is ther link if this is what you were wanting http://www.mastercrafttires.com/ Bill

No joke here, I saw a dodge with Michalins that lasted 100,000 miles. They were original, 10 years old, and dry rotted like you wouldn't believe.
But the tread was still way good. |

I have Michelans now and i like them, they bite pretty good when warm and have a decent looking thread, Michelan makes BF GoodRich BTW.

I've been running TOYO's for several years with excellent results. A lot of Ranchers, farmers, and Oilpatch guys around here run them because they stand up to the gravel roads better than most other brands. Michelins are good if you stay on pavement, but don't hold up as well on country roads. Wouldn't own anything made by Badyear!

I run Kumho tires on everything except the camaro.
They last a good while, hang good in the curves, and seem to keep a balance very well. Plus they are pretty cheap. I used to run BFG on all my cars but tryed Kumho and stayed with them.
