Maxxis Mudders get my vote. not much road noise. good in the rain. i live in Louisiana, and we have red clay type mud that sticks like glue, and these tires clean real well without having to red line the motor to clean the tire lugs out. i will buy Maxxis again, but i might try the Bighorn that Maxxis manufactures. i have read different reviews of people getting 50-60,000 miles on a set. i will be happy with 45,000. i spent 600 bucks mounted and balanced, and believe it or not, road hazard.

I kinda like the 31x10.50R15 OTR ULTRAs; just more and half the price of Firestone Destination MTs off tirerack.com, which up until now I was set on getting, lol.

Have you considered considered Kumho M/Ts or Cooper discovery M/Ts. They are comparable to the ProComps in size. price and performance.
What about the Firestone Destination M/Ts?

Hmmm, very interesting.... Would you say these are good for a daily driver? Also, was does the "Green Diamond" rating mean; I see some tires have it and some don't...
