Can't have it all. looking for a mud tire, its not going to be quiet and a great ride? mine (general red) are great at the trails, rocks and ok in mud , haven't tried in the snow yet but i love that they are comfy and quiet for my daily commute. i would say go for the nitto trail grabbler or the toyo open country. i think you would be the happiest for looks and mud... might be a little louder but who cares lol

One thing that wasn't a factor in my tire search was weight. I don't get why it bothers people so much.. I'll take the extra toughness vs .2mpg.

Less wear on already weak axle assemblies d44 or 30. Lighter tires = less forceful energy to be soaked up by suspension in a rapid compression. ( say pothole or fire/logging road or anywhere speed is a factor) Heavier tires have more mass equaling more force that may not be absorbed by suspension ( shock valving comes into play and stiff springs as well). The remaining energy goes to things like axle "c" s and axle housings. And yeah less rolling resistance does equal a drop or two in mileage lol

They are wearing awesome on the street. They do good in the snow and incredible in the mud. They have tested at the top in many mud terrain tire tests

Sounds valid but I'm not buying that 20 extra pounds of tire will damage anything that is already being weighed on by 1100+ lbs.
