Default Opinions on BFG, Goodyear, Mickey Thompson tires.

I think I finally made up my mind to go with 305/65/17--33-12.50-17 but can't make up my mind on brand. I like the KM2. Any imput would be appriciated.

I love my Mickey Thompsons, they are fairly quiet on the road and they eat mud like no other tire I have seen.

35" MTZ's here, quiet, ride great, claw up rocks pretty well, wears even, price isn't bad.
Complaints. Soft compound cuts and chunks pretty easy, wears pretty quick.
No clue how they do in mud. I hate mud. It gets everywhere. I would assume they do well pretty deep wide lugs.

I have the mickey Thomson claws and I love them best radial tire I have ever had. They do awesome in the mud and look really cool also. Not very loud on the road either in my opinion.
