What brand Tires would you suggest for a DD/Weekend Warrior
I have never been a fan of the Pro Comp tires, have known to many people with them because they are cheap and the performance showed!
I run 2 sets of tires, daily tires in the 275 size then 37" KM2's when I wheel. I drive a lot so it makes sense for me. It saves on money for fuel, more power, saves on wear on the front end and brakes. Yeah it does not look as cool but I'm not worried about that, when it's time to wheel it's all good!

I ran them before going to 37's Toyo MT's. They are light (good) but were hard to balance. Now I did had the 1st production runs so that might be the reason. They were great in dirt and mud. I was scared about the sidewalk hitting sharp branches though. I have 2 new ones sitting in my garage collecting dust! Road noise wasn't bad at all.
Mickey Thompson ATZ P3 is worth a look. I have 30k miles on a set of 37's, and they perform great as DD tire yet still have toughness, which sounds like something you are looking for. The 37's only measure a little over 36", so that's an issue but wasn't a killer for me.
Something AT vs. MT. A quality All Terrain is your best bet. If you have a winch, and getting in kid rarely, you'll be fine. I'm in Colorado and run Nitto Trail Grapplers and contemplating going to Nitto Terra Grapplers. Why? Not much mud at elevation, and more wet and snow than anything else. I personally don't like "Good for a Years" as every set I have ever run either wear too quickly, soft sidewalls, too imbalanced, etc. Toyo & Nitto are the same company. BFG's I've run have been solid. All a terrain would suit you well. The AT's have siping, and as compared to MT's that have sing, the AT's still have more. This is critical for wet and snow traction. If you are dead set on getting MT's for whatever reason, you can get them siped for a nominal fee at a few tire stores. Ultimately, base your decision on terrain first, then, do the research on the various brands.

Those actually look pretty nice. I'm in the market for some ATs so I can free up from wearing down too fast my KM2s. Will add these ATZ P3s to do some comparisons to the Grabbers, KOs, and Duratracs.
