Ok, so I'm a complete newb. I do take my first gen runner 4bying regularly, but it's bone stock. I NEED tires. I also commute 70 kms a day 4 days a week. I don't really care about road noise. I want long life and tires that will take a beating (Rocks, dirt, some mud and snow). I've never been interested in buying "brand name" stuff just cause...
So my research has lead me to a few options: (I think 31" is about right)
Toyo M/T open country
Procomp Xtreme MT or Xterrain (Would've been first choice, but I worry about sidewall strength)
Maxxis Bighorn
Cost is also a factor... Any opinion is appreciated. Thanks!

 

Do you really NEED a mud terrain tire? Make sure it's got some tire siping so it's better on slick roads. I like BFG AT KO's, I've had great results with those.

 

Check out Goodyear's new DuraTrac tire. It's got the best of both worlds: a very aggressive all terrain tread with siping and sidewall lugs that give it the appearance of a mud terrain.

I've also seen the new Kelly Safari TSR and it's also a very aggressive all terrain.

 

BFG all terrains are the best all around tire IMO. Or Nitto Terragrapplers if you have 16" wheels or bigger.

 

sorry but imo nittos suck. your on the right track with the toyo's though. most guys are getting 50-60 thousand easy with these tires. plus there quite on the road and run very true. they are more expensive than most but welll worth it . i have a set on two diffrent vehicles and have been enjoying them for a couple years now. plus i sell them at work so i get to hear what everyone thinks of them that actually run them and use them for what they are. Trust me well worth the money. WOLF HAS SPOKEN!!!
