I'll let you know...
I'm putting on 315/75/R16 Goodyear MTR's on my truck Tomorrow and then driving three hours to do some offroading on Saturday. Then driving at least five hours home on Sunday so I'll be able to let you know how well they do on and off road fairly soon. I know the 315/75 is a tad bit smaller than the true 35x12.5 but i don't think you can notice the differnce. I'll post pics as well on Monday when I get back.

well i put the yoko m/t's on my truck cause i like the directional tread. Which is why i may go with the procomp x-treme terrains next time (by that time they should be out)...and i suspect, being procomps, theyll be better on and off road than the yokes. I like the procomp m/t...the a/t are ok, but they don't give the truck the mean look i like. The tsl and thornbirds are great offroad and look pretty rough...but onroad they are horrible, and so are the SSRs. The belteds are pretty cool (didn't know they made a 35x12.5x16 size), but they aren't good in mud- they are awesome in sand tho' . But they wear pretty bad also. I really like the MT/R Goodyears too, and i think they perform fairly well on road. Oh, and if you can wait it out a couple months, BFG is coming out with a 315/75R16 in their MT. So basically i think the best overall tires for on/off road are:
ON ROAD (in order):
1. ProComp A/t
2. BFG A/T
3. ProComp M/T
4. BFG M/T
5. Yoko M/t
6. Goodyear MT/R
7. Baja Belteds
8. SSR
9. Thornbirds
10. TSL
Offroad (in order- mud):
1. TSL
2. SSR
3. Thornbirds
4. ProComp M/t
5. Goodyear MT/R
6. BFG m/t
7. Yoko m/t (I have had absolutely great experiences with these in the mud- but a couple of others have not, so i am trying to be un-biased here)
8. ProComp a/t
9. Baja Belteds
10. BFG A/T
Notice that the only one in the top 4 of both categories is the ProComp mt. Of course, these are in my opinion. But i've seen em all on and off, and i think you need to decide which is more important to you...on or offroad. I have a whole bunch of friends with thornbirds and SSR's...and if you can put up with the downgrade in ride and the noise, then they are pretty sweet. But this is my opinion: ProComp M/T.
Hope this helps....
