COuld tackle dirt, sand, gravel, tarmac wet & dry, most mud and slush - only thing that stops them is clay-like mud (eg. mud from Indian trail and most central trails). They wear great, have much less noise than mud terrains and slightly more noise than highway tires (they make a slight hum when rolling at slow speeds but at high speed they're same as highway tires) and with all the siping on the lugs they handle wet weather well - I could splash though water on the highway at 80km/hr with no tug or pull on the steering wheel. Handles emergency braking quite well too, and the strong triple-ply sidewalls could take airing down the tires on offroading trips very well.
Toyo open country AT-II from Mileage mack are also excellent road tires, just as much grip on wet as on dry, handle most trails well, stopped only by clay mud too. Excellent road manners, good noise levels too. Only downside is they dont wear as long as BFG, and need to rotate them often to ensure longer life and even wear.
Kumho KL78 all terrain tires, ran those on my family's frontier for 3 years, 75000km. Wears great, excellent wet and dry grip on the highways, good performance off-road too, can run with the big boys like bfg and toyo all terrains. Good noise levels too, not as quiet as highway tires but very tolerable on road. Sidewalls are only 2-ply polyester, so not as resistant to rocks and sticks like the BFG but still a great tire overall.
IMO, i really hate the local tire sellers in trinidad- they really suck when it comes to customer service and prices. Best service I've gotten so far is from Quickserv on Wrightson Road, and from Mileage Mack in Union Hall, San Fernando. BOth times I was attended to promptly, and the guys were knowledgeable on what they were puting on my truck and the service manager was very accomodating. Also the coffee at Mileage Mack in south was excellent

Thanks for your contribution! After reading your input, user and expert reviews online and considering the difference in cost, I decided on the Kumho..
A friend arranged a wholesale deal for me, got them at a great price.
Gonna drop the air pressure a little, they are running a little too hard for my liking.
But the grip is fantastic compared to the Duellers I had before.
I can take a corner with confidence again.
I inspected the tyres when I got home.. and found a huge nail in one of the front tyres..
I think Prakash in El Socorro opens on a Sunday.. in case they aren't open, does anyone know any tyre shops open on a Sunday?

.imagine $2050 for bfg AT ,just the other day it was 1600 and it just keep going up ,sometimes i wonder if i would have to take out a small loan just buy tyres the way prices keep going up.
