stuck in a dilemma

alright. so i'm planning on putting a 3in. body lift on my truck with some new rims and tires. The rims will more than likely be 16x10 eagle 187s or pro comp 1079s. I want a good mud terrain for when i go hunting and camping, and the occasional fun that i can't let dad find out about. But about 70 percent of my driving will be done on the road, so i still need one that wont be done with after 25,000 miles. I've narrowed it down to 3 choices, mainly because of price: the Hankook Dynapro RT03 M/T, the Maxxis Buckshot Mudder, and the Maxxis Bighorn.

I'm not too concerned about noise, but i would prefer the smoothest ride possible. I wanna hear what you guys think because I havn't heard many reviews on the bighorns, if any, and all i've read about the hankooks is about what they can do on the rocks when people put them on FJs and Jeeps. If you guys have any other suggestions i'm open to anything. Thanks for any input in advance!

Oh and the tires will most likely be a 315/75/16 (so 35x12.50)

Thanks

Cody

I don't know anyone with Bighorns or Hankook's. I have several friends that run Buckshots. They are a great tire for the money. A set of 33's can be had for $500 out the door around here.

I wouldn't be afraid to try the Bighorn's based on comments about the Buckshots.

I'd go with the Mudders or the Hankooks. I havn't seen any reviews on the Bighorns, but the others have proven to be good tires.

Thanks
