Tire advise

hey all,
I am looking at getting a new set of tires for my DD and I am wondering what you guys have used that you would recommend.
I am on a tight budget so they have to be less than $500 for all 4
I want good traction but I don't want mud tires, just a good AT.
I have been looking at the pro comp AT and the wild country XTX sport
here is a pic of the pro comp:


And here is the Wild country:


I am leaning towards the wild country but I am not sure.
what do you think?
thanks!

Check out 4wheelparts.com.They have Nitto Terra Grabbers for around 110 per tire with free shipping,but you would have to get someone to mount and balance for 60. Pepboys is probably your least expensive option.

Check out the Fuzion XTi's. I just had 4 shipped to my door for $406.00 ($89.00 per tire). I don't have them on just yet but they do seem aggresive enough for me while still being an AT.

I've got over 25K with my mt's, I'm guessing I still have 50+% tread life too.

I had a set of liberators (which I don't recommend) and I managed to put around 45k miles on them and they still had PLENTY of tread left. The problem was the cracking on the side walls. Moral of the story--tread life isn't everything.

Currently, I have some BFGoodrich KOs which are pretty common and I love 'em.

you should look into these:
http://www.4wheelparts.com/PPT3282T100079.aspx

They are made for road/beach driving.
