Default M/T's for daily driving?

Hey guys, im getting real close to finally having enough money to put my lift and tires installed and i was looking at the Toyo open country m/ts but i dont know if theyre a good daily driver. Does anyone have any feedback? How are they in snow and rain? Any advice is appreciated. Thanks in advanced

If you have a good radio then tire noise is nothing to worry about. Older MT tires usually get noisier.

You might want to ask how many miles you can get out of a set of M/T's. The Duratrac's are A/T's. Better street performance for a DD.
