My vote is for BFG Trail Terrain, little brother to KO2's. They are M&S and 3 peak snow rated. Very quiet and gas mileage is the same as the Bridgestones. They have performed well in the rain, ice, and snow for me.
Very pleased.
There are free online practice exams with the answers and it's not that bad. I'm no rocket scientist and I did it. I got my technician license and then a month later my general. If you really want it and apply yourself a little bit you can do it.
Best of luck!

I went with BFG Trail Terrain in stock size. Good reviews and I find them to be quiet on the Hwy, good in the rain, snow & ice, 3 peak rated. Fuel mileage remained same as stock Bridgestones.
I'm going to install the foam pipe insulation solution. I love this Ranger and will deal with the rainwater intrusion the best I can. Also it's garaged now so that will help.
BTW, it was parked outside nose slightly down hill for the first 4 years. Evidently that will do it as airline tech posted.
On the freeway doing 60 mph I hit passing gear to merge into another lane. Immediately after that it started running real rough with no power. I pulled off the road and after not being able to see anything obvious I call for a tow. (shout-out to the GEICO app)
Back ground, I bought the 2019 XLT...
After much research I went with BFG Trail Terrain in stock size. They are good in winter conditions, quiet on the hwy, and mileage stayed the same as the Bridgestone's. Very happy.
I have a 2019 XLT bought new Nov 2019 and have had zero problems. I love this Ranger after owning a 2006 ranger which I also loved.
At my age I expect this to be my final vehicle and am glad that this is the one.
I installed stock size BFG Trail Terrains and they are good for logging roads and other off road excursions. They are OK in rain but are really good on snow and ice.
Mileage is about same as stock Bridgestones and are quiet on the Hwy.
Very happy with them.
Last fall I put on a set of stock size BFG Trail Terrain. Little brother to the KO2's. The are very good in icy conditions and are 3 peak snow rated. Quiet on the road and mileage is about the same. They advertise good for light off road. I do old logging roads and they are good.
Very happy with...
I just bought the fairly new BFG Trail Terrains in stock size and so far am really happy. Did a ton of research and watched a lot of you tube reviews. I don't need KO2's as i only go off road once in a while. Also wanted the three peak winter rating. So far so good.
I have and use a set of resistance bands as I build for strength. I am unable to do cardio so I like being able to use the bands as nothing else is needed to work the major muscle groups.
Found a brand at a Montana truck stop called Bahama Mama. They were on the rolling cooker thing. Really good and large too. Found them again at a gas store in Reno NV. Bought a couple multi packs and took em home. Great on the grill.
There is a guy that comes to visit a neighbor that has train horns on a jacked up 4x4 that just has to honk twice every time when leaving. I jump out of the couch every time. I hate that guy.
THERE ARE GAS POWERED WINCHES THAT USE CHAINSAW ENGINES THAT WE USE IN THE WOODS THAT YOU HOOK TO A STRAP. DON'T REMEMBER THE PULLING POWER BUT IT'S PRETTY DECENT. THEY ARE LOUD AS THEY USE A 2 CYCLE ENGINE AND HIGH RPM'S
