Default Mud tires???

I'm looking for a set of Mud Tires...what do you guys recommend? I would like something I could ride on the road for a while before getting to the trail.

I've got Hankook Dynapro MT's on my Jeep. I really like them. They're a little heavy but they're also tough as nails, aggressive, not too loud or rumbley on the highway, and they sling mud like champs. I take them off in the winter because they suck on ice but they've got a lot of pavement and trail mileage over the last three summers. Including long highway trips spanning three provinces. Lots of tread left. Inexpensive compared to other quality mud tires, too. Good luck deciding... Lots of options out there!

I'm running BFG KM2's. Quiet compared to other Mud Tires, light, and very good tread wear. I got over 30,000 km on mine and still half of the tread left. With that said, people say they have a weak side wall, even though I've never had any problems. But they do chunk off rather easy.

TOYO MT for me. These are a few threads on them and Nitto trail (MT). Both great tires, but I understand from members that the TOYO will get a bit more tread life.

Maxxis Bighorns!
Second set of mine and they hold up damn well. Can't beat them for the price either.
$200 a piece for my 35's and they have taken everything i've thrown at them.

I've seen Nitto Trail Grapplers and Duratracs off road in all conditions and am impressed by both.

My trail grapplers have 13,000 miles on them and have a shocking lack of tread wear. I'd expect 50,000 out of them, easy.

I've had good off road results with the Firestone Destination M/T.
