GT Radial tires

Has anybody here used GT radial tires on their rigs before ? I was looking to get a set of their mud terrains. Theres a tire wholesaler near me with some decent prices. Just wondering if I should pony up the cash for some bfg's or go with these. here is a link to his ad.

the main problem I see is that the tread pattern on the first two pictures (the ones on top) are not the same tread pattern on the bottom two pictures. so you've already got confusion about what you'd get by buying.
the top appear to be MT rated truck tires and the lower two appear to be all-weather AT rated tires.

Seller's just showing proof that he has both abe. Lists both all terrains and mud terrains and their prices. Don't see anything shady about that.

My buddy runs these on his scout. Good general off-road tire. Not great in snow. Good in mud, sand, dirt, etc. Wear a bit fast on the road.

I've had two sets of Adventuro A/T's on my rig. They are a good tire. The price is definitely right. The only thing that was an issue with mine, is they seemed to wear out somewhat quickly. I put an estimated 16K miles on each set of tires (I've run through two sets) I must add, that I purchased both sets of 4 used (with 3-6K miles on them) So, with proper rotation, and depending on other factors, you can expect 20-25K life out of them, maybe more. This is also for the AT, not the MT
