Which Tire Should I Get?

Well I have an 85 SR5 Pickup with a recent 3" lift so now i am in need of tires (Mud Tires preferably)

I have narrowed it down to about 3 choices:

Toyo Open Country MT's (My Favorite)

Mickey Thompson Baja MTZ

BFG Mud Terrain KM2


.. Just wanting to know which of these tires are the best on road and off, as well as if there are any other suggestions.

My choice isnt based on looks.. Its just one of my friends has the Toyo's and he swears by them. As for long lasting, the km2's are probably the best and will most likely be the ones i go with.

The km2's are pretty reasonably priced too. Hell i don't want to run 35"s but i might go get me a set of the 35" km2's just for road tires.. idk.

I ran the trxus mt's for a while and i loved them. They wore pretty quick because they were a SOFT tire, i would be running them again right now, but they are expensive.
