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.
