here's the deal, I want the whole big truck look with big mud tires and nice wheels. But I drive the interstate every day back and forth to work/class.

Would it be best for me to just get a nice wheel and a regular street tire, or are there mud tires that withstand the heavy driving I do 6 days a week?

 

i am kind of in the same boat as you right now AT vs. MT's... I do know MT's wear faster, ride rougher and sometimes louder.

I would say AT's in your case with all the highway driving.

For me my biggest dilima is how well MT's perform in snow. I mostly drive in city.

 

the toyo m/t (if you can afford them) would be perrict for both of you

 

check out:
BFG TA KO's for AT's

Toyo Open Country MT's for mud terrains

 

I have never run the Toyo's but loved my BFG's. I think they look aggressive, especially for an A/T and they did good (I thought) through two winters in upstate NY. They are pretty expensive, but I think they are great tires.

 

I have over 33k miles on these BFG's, better for highway use than MT's.//

 

If you not gonna use a M/T the way they're supposed to be, A/T would be a better investment.

 

I love my Nitto TG's - great look and great ride.

 

I have to say that I like the Nittos too. So much that I am ordering a secound set for my summer wheels that I have desided on! (305/70/17)
