Default Tire Help!!!

I am looking to buy 33/12.5 R15 tires, but I am looking for a good tire for both road and light trails. I will not be heavily into mudding or anything like that just looking for something that performs well and looks good on the road in rain and in the trails. I was thinking about either BF Goddrich TA or KM2's. Any help would be great.

Nitto terra grapplers. These are 33 by 12.5 on 18 in wheels. I don't have a better picture and it is to dark to take one right now. They have a very aggressive looking tread pattern for an All terrian tire

I have been very happy with my Cooper Discoverer S/T's both on and off road. I had BFG AT's on my Dakota and YJ and the cooper is better both on and off road.

These are 285/75R16's (33 x 11.5)

Do you 'need' a mud tire?

Sounds like you have answered your own question on which of the two to go with...

If you have the spare change, the bfg AT has a lot of supporters. If price is somewhat of an issue, take a look at the nitto terra grappler. Haven't tried the Coopers from the above poster, but have seen quite a few positive comments on them also.
