I run kumho road venture mt's and like them. Nice aggressive look, and I've been told they do great in the mud.

Im sticking with MHT Fuel rims, the Revolver series in 18s. jus tring to decide what to wrap them in.
Mickey Thompson MTZ. Its a load D rated Tire instead of an E and lighter than the Nitto/Toyo. I have 20x12 Fuel Hostage with 38x15.5x20 in the garage waiting for my lift. Ive never heard one bad thing about Nitto/Toyo and ran them on my last rig, I went with the MTZ this time around for the slight weight difference and load Rating.

Good choice. If my Jeep was a DD, I would have gotten an AT pattern also. Not that my MT is bad on the road, just an AT would be a little less $$, a little less noise, get me a little better mpg and may last a little longer. I really like your wheel choice. They'll look good together.

Agreed both these tires are really good. The Toyo is heavier and will last longer. The Nitto is a softer compound and lighter then the Toyo. I'm running the Nitto's now and love them, they air down really well but they chunk easier.

nothing against nitto but personally i wont be running them again. they are too soft, like you stated and chunk easier. weve had them on twin turboed duramaxs here on the dyno and you could watch the truck fling the rubber off rollers.

I've run Hankook MTs, Goodyear Duratracs, and BFG KM2s. Duratrac is my hands down favorite!
