I assume you mean "Long Trail."
But you have to be careful... there's a very crummy tire called the "Radial Long Trail T/A" that BFG made as an OEM (for Ford maybe?). You can tell it because its an asymmetric tread in most sizes and is recommended to be only mounted RWL out (or blackwall out in some models).
There is also the "Long Trail T/A" touring tire, which is the one I'm talking about, and its far far better- comparable to or better than the LTX M/S. Go to TireRack or Discount Tire and look at the reviews for the two, being careful to note the difference in name. The "Radial Long Trail T/A" gets mediocre to poor reviews, the "Long Trail T/A" tour gets excellent ones.
BFG didn't do themselves any favors by making two radically different tires with such similar names.
