I have about 10k miles on a set I put on about 6 months ago, love them, they handle and ride great. Love the hum also, not too much just enough.

Goodyear MTRs, I've had them on since last summer, love their on road manners and how awesome they are on the trails too. Plus they are so much quieter than my BFG MTs were. I'll be moving up to 35s with the next set but staying with this tire.

Decide on the type of tire you want. From the very little information you gave, it will be all onroad driving, so it sounds like you want an AT?

How about some more information to help narrow down the hundred different tire choices you are going to get...

Quick tire summary.

Generic answer for a kick-ass all-around tire: Goodyear Duratrac

Want a real M/T: Goodyear MTR/Kevlar, BFG KM2, or Toyo MT (tough, heavy)

More of an A/T: Falken Wildpeak A/T

More of an A/T for the snow: Stick with the Duratracs or take a look at the Goodyear Silent Armor if you want something less aggressive.

There are many, many choices available and even more opinions. Good luck.

The Cooper STT's are really good off the road. They are noisy on the highway but they are designed for offroad use so it is expected. Also, Terra Grapplers are good both on and off the road.
