I installed some 10 ply 225/75R16 Continental Sportiva AT tires on my TriStar the other day. These are fantastic tires! Basically they are a copy of the BFG ATs only less expensive and they have more plies that the BFGs which is a plus for me and they are studable for winter use. The tread is the typical interlocking S pattern, there is a big lip next to the rim so that you can protect the rim when you are off-roading. If you chose there is a raised white letter side to these (I chose not), road noise is minimal - comparable to the BFGs again. Of road they are very good, they stay clean and offer a big foot print when aired down. Next time you are looking at All Terrain tires check out these ones. I am very happy with them.
