i need something that is somewhat decent on price in 33x12.5Rx15, will last quite a while mileage wise 35k+ (i do quite a bit of drivin) but i do NOT want an A/T

I hate Pro Comp tires with a passion. They are crap!

the #1 most Underrated offroad tire known to man:
Kumho Venture MTs. sweet tread pattern, very quiet road manners (for a M/T), and 6-Ply Sidewalls!!!
http://www.tirerack.com/tires/tires....Venture+MT+834
they're expensive, but in my experience, worth every penny. just look at the ratings on tire rack, with 334 submissions to the survey!

X2 on the TrXuS M/T's. Inexpensive, thick sidewalls, performance on par with a heavy mudder.

I had 'em on my '97 and they were only about $100 a tire and offered great grip on dry pavement and decent control in the wet and off road they were a solid tire too.
The bad which made me go with Nittos over another set of Yoks was they seem to wear fast (treadwear rating was 380 compared to the Nittos 500) hence the great dry grip but the Yoks do have a 50k mileage warranty.
The Nittos aren't as cheap (still not a bad price tho') but do have a slight edge in the snow and slush and seem to be wearing alot better after 15k miles.

aren't ProComp and MT made by the same people? I like the looks of the new ProComp Xtreme MT thoughI liked the STT's, but the rubber is so hard that they don't do all that well on wet rock. they are tough, and they wear good on-road, but there's a price to pay for the treadwear.

When I got my truck it had 35x12.50 STT that were about 50% tread and they were dry rotted, I think they were pretty old, but the truck didn't ride to bad considering the bad pitman arm it had, I have 31.10.50 BFG MTs now and they are a bit noisier, but I like them a little better all around, if I had to choose the same size just fdifferent tires between the two I would stick with my MTs. I really want Radial TSLs though

i am going to go with the dayton timberline M/Ts for my next set. great pricing on highperformancetire.com and discount will match the tire prices straight up not adding the price of shipping.
