Doesn't exist...

BFG ATs last pretty long and do pretty well in anything but mud.

Do not get mickeys if your bronco seen pavement. They will wear out faster than the swampers. Go with the BFG ATs, they work farily well in sand. They dont work well in the deep stuff, but in most mud they do OK, kindof. They require tons of wheelspeed, and even then they are not to great. But they still work better than the mickeys.

BFG MTs will wear just fine on the road. They are great in mud and rocks and will out last Swampers or Thompsons by far.

Maybe you should try the new Nitto Terra Grapplers a/t tires. I just
put some on my truck and they ride great. The road noise with these tires
is virtually non existent compared to the mud terrain tires I was running before. They are suppose to wear very well also. They just came out at
the end of 2003 and you can get them through Discount Tire Direct and they
do not charge you shipping !!!!!
They look very aggressive also for an all-terrain tire...................

unfortunately uniroyal discontued their m/t and replaced it with some really mild looking a/t the m/ts looked like they had a really good tread pattern for mud

i think those trXus sts tires would work great in sand by looking at the tread, but not much else

BFG M/Ts should get 40K plus if you sipe the two middle rows - IMHO they're much better all around than the ATs with just a "little" hummm on pavement. They'll give satisfactory performance in sand but will dig a hole much quicker than ATs if you "get on it".
