I was always partial to the looks of the thornbirds. Although they seem to wear quick from what I hear. Why No BFG AT's on the list? I loved mine.

On a side note, Have you seen my Truck running around N.O. lately? I sold it to a Kenner Cop. It's kinda hard to miss too.

Just Curious.

I would definetely go with the Yokohama's or the MTX. This is mainly because i've seen how bad the thornbirds wear and ride. On a jeep they are better on wear because of weight...but stick em on a 5000 lb truck and youll notice one hell of a difference in ride quality and wear. The MTX are supposed to be good but are not as offroad-y as the Yoko's. The Yoko's are really good for me so far, but i have yet to drive em that much (only about 6000 mi). So far they are fine and i've gotten pretty good wear. Actually i've gotten virtually no wear on the tread but a slight wear on the edges of the blocks that make up the tread. However this doesnt affect tire life so i'm not really worried...anywayz, i'd go Yoko's or MTX's...BUT from what i hear the Yoko's are still hard to get your hands on...hope this helps.
