Will someone please make up MY mind!!!

I got a 2" BL going in next week and I will be getting new tires in the fall but I can't decide what I want to get! I'm looking at the BFG or Goodyear M/T's, or the BFG A/T's or REVO'S. I'm not sure if I can live with the additional noise levels of the M/T's as most of my driving is on the highway about 25miles (return) everyday but when I do go off-road it's usually on old logging roads, river sand bars or muskeg. I'm kind of leaning towards the REVOs as they are probably more suited to my day to day routine, and from what I've read, they're a better riding and longer lasting tire than the M/T's. BUT, I also like the off-road performance of the mud terrains, (I've had BFG M/T's before), as well not to mention the look of the more aggresive tire. Is the noise level of the M/T style tire that much more than the A/T style? Also, how much faster will the M/T's ear out compared to the A/T's? WHAT ONES SHOULD I GET????

Get the REVO's and buy someone's used MT's down the road and some cheapo steel rims. The rarity ocasions that you do go wheeling...pop the MT's on.

I second that. Go with the Revo's. I'm buying tires in a few weeks and I am definately going with Revo's. They are much more practical.

I put them on our 4Runner because it is primarily a road warrior...with occasional stints out into the woods. I am totally impressed. Very quiet and sticks like glue in wet weather. Probably the best all around SUV tire I have ever owned.

Another vote for the Revo's. You'll get better off-road performance with the MT's but they'll wear down alot faster than the Revo's if you drive alot on street with them.
Revo's are a great compromise between a good street tire and good off-road tire.

the revos are wicked sick for road use... and decent offroad... an awesome all terrain

the mud terrains do make noise, especially if you run them at low pressure.. my truck currently has 25 in the rear and 27 in the front and they at times hum louder than my flowmaster....

Thanks for the input people. I'm sort of swaying towards the revo's as it would be the practical way to go. Now for the wheels...
