I know how you feel, tires can be the most frustrating thing when it comes to vehicles these days. I stumbled upon a stack of Uniroyal Liberator AT tires at Walmart and had to check them out. All the reviews I saw said at least 60k miles easily. Someone even said 85k. I really love the look and the price: $130 a piece. My buddy has them on his ranger and loves them. Here's a link: http://www.uniroyaltires.com/tire-se...tor-a-t-tires?

Hope this helps! Good luck.

I personally hate those. "Deep, aggressive tread pattern" looks like a standard plain ol' pattern to me. And when I asked for an aggressive 31 inch tire at Wal-Mart the guy said those or the Wrangler Authorities, I laughed and gladly picked the Authorities haha.

Best price I for 33's Muds I would say Dunlop Radial Mud Rover. http://www.tirerack.com/tires/tires....VOWL&tab=Sizes
$172 each I got one, I had to replace one that got a side puncture, deep tread.

Thanks guys, the liberator is a similar tire to what im running for on road. iv got 2 sets of wheels and tires. the dunlop mud rover looks like a possible winner.

the more aggressive the better. im running bfg MTs right now, with no complaints

Oh yeah, personally I would not get the liberators unless I was really pressed for cash. I would like to get bigger rims so I can get the Uniroyal Laredo HD/T Commercial off-road tires, but I don't know about those. I have Definity Dakotas on mine right now (bought it with them) but I plan to get Dunlop or Mickey Thompson mudders. Depends how much money I can scrape together, lol.
