i've run a lot of tires over the years and have become a big fan of toyo mt's because of how well they perform on and off the trail. i've recently tested out a set of nitto trail grapplers and loved them enough that we will be running them on our new dozer jk. of course, both are made by the same company

you should be able to get 45,000+ out of a toyo. if tread life is a priority, i have found that few tires do better than BFG's, they wear like iron. with proper rotation and normal driving, getting 60,000+ out of BFG's isn't uncommon. toyo's have proven themselves to excell both on and off pavement and have near bulletproof sidewalls. to this day, i have yet to have a single toyo fail on me, period.

Probably can't get any better advice than what you already have recieved. But these have worked well for me.

Hey wayoflife... Is there anyway you can make a stickie for tire reviews.. for example.

Name of tire
Size
Price
Wear life(miles)
Review how they did on/off road

I'm upgrading from POS Runway Enduro that lasted me very little. Life span of the tire is something I'm considering a lot.
