new tires cant decide

I guess I can chime in here...
My ProComp's have been pretty good to me for what I have done I guess. I have put about 20k on them and they're about down to 50% tread left. But that also includes being a little burnout happy when I first got them . I love them in the snow, they plow through the big drifts pretty nicely, and are decent on ice I guess. I've gone through my good share of mud with them and can say that you would be better off with a M/T haha. If you don't plan on goin through anything over like 2-5 inches of mud then they would work pretty well, but they don't clean out for crap. Street driving though, they are excellent. When it rains they still have great traction unless you punch it around corners. And the road noise is pretty low.
I would recommend them if you aren't a bogger, they'll get you around in some mud, and especially snow. Thats my 2 cents...

I have a set of tires called long trail A/Ps. not sure who makes them but they are load range E and I also have a posi rear. They perform very well off road and have almost never gotten stuck except for when I have framed out of been hung up on my axles. In terms of off roading I have found the tires tread doesn't matter nearly as much as tire heigh tand axle clearance.

I recently bought a set of Mickey Thompson Baja atz 315/75r16 and can say I am very impressed with them. They are fairly quiet on the highway, work really well in the rain and seem to do just fine in the mud. After I bought the tires I went mudding with another guy that has a 94 ram with 33 inch mud tires and I was doing as good as he was with my all terrains.

I got bridgestone dueler APTs for my wife's yukon about 15K miles ago at sears (Have 60K mile warranty if rotation balancing is done on time). Sears has a good deal. Free rotation and balancing for the life of the tire (done every 6K). It cost 150 per tire, plus the mounting and balancing. THere was also a bridgestone rebate offer when I did it.
The tires look brand new and the treads are very deep.
On my 1996 I had 33/12.5/r15 tires on there. BFG AT KOs. Good tire.
I recommend sears though, because of the free maintenance.

Does wallmart offer the same thing? THey had a good selection of tires if you are not getting too radical.

lol the guy did something wrong. he told me it'd be 281 mounted and balanced per tire. turns out its only 259 mounted and balanced. i would have been willing to pay the 281 but he took the time to double check and call me to let me know. that is exactly why i prefer to go to small mom and pop shops. plus it's less than a mile from where i live. and its an off road shop so i'll get to look around at all the jeeps and trucks they build. maybe even discuss suspension for my ram
