Don't do the Mickey Thompson Baja MTZ's if your gonna do a lot of pavement driving. Great tire off-road but too soft in my opinion for daily driving

x2 on the Duratracs. Very happy with road noise, can't speak to mileage out of them yet. Was looking at the Falkens, but if I remember they are really heavy for a AT tire. Less weight on my stock tailgate is always better, even if it is only a 33.

I'm running Mickey MTZs and think my next tire will be Duratracs

They seam to be a great all round tire and I'm impressed each time I see a rig on the trail with them.

Go with duratracs. I had a set of 33x12.50 on a full size blazer and drove it from DC to central Texas. Put about 10000 miles on them and had plenty of tread left. Discount tires I think has the best price
