What tires to buy?

i have been debating on the following tires:
-Dunlop Radial Mud Rovers
-Wrangler MT/R
-BFG Mud Terrain
-BFG All Terrain

I do a little bit, maybe once ever few weeks. i am looking for a good looking tire that is going to last a while and still perform well. I really like the Dunlop Mud Rover but dont know how long its going to last and since im still a student i dont have money to keep buying new tires although they are my favorite of the bunch. What is going to be my best bet, also how many miles can i get out of a set of Mud Rovers?

Not to discourage you, but I have Dunlop Radial Rovers on my truck and they shake at around 60-70mph. I have been unable to get them properly balanced so they do not shake on me. I am pretty sure it is a tire issue.

Others here have had the same problem with Dunlops.

Everyone here seems to love the Bridgestone Dueler Revos. Might want to check those out. I'll have to buy new tires at the end of summer and those are what I plan on getting.

I have about 33k on my REVO's and don't seem to be getting the wear that I had expected. If this was the beginning of winter, I'd be replacing them. Otherwise, they are an excellent tire. If I had to do it again I'd go with the Michelin LTX M/S which I had on an older 4Runner. They wore like iron and you can't beat the quality. Of course, it all depends on what type of driving you do and the conditions for your specific area.

yeah, i looked at the Revos and they just didnt have that look to them, they are a little more than all the tires on my list and i am willing to save up in order to get the best set of tires, but i just liked the way the dunlops lookes, i also like the way Bridgestone Dueler M/T's look. I cant believe that i havent heard anything good about the Dunlops yet except they do good in mud!
