i run both tires and if you're gonna be spending more of your time on pavement, i would get the mt/r's. both are great tires. the toyo's are by far a better off road tire or, at least that i have used but, they do wear pretty fast. the mt/r's will last you a lot longer.

as you properly suspect i want a mud tire for the look. this is mostly a daily driver. The MTr Kev. looks like it would be quite on the street but still get the look i want. the occasional off road would be driving thru fields in Texas bird hunting or a Colorado jeep trail every now & then. The Mtr's seen to be in short supply around the DFW area so i will just order them & wait. pricing has been right at $300ea

Thanks for the input
