I run BFGoodrich All terrains, heard good things on the Muds. Are you looking for looks, or actual use?

Cant go wrong with some big ole TSL Swamper tires lol (I'm sure they are not quite)

Take a look at the Goodyear Duratrac's. They are kind of a mix between A/T and M/T. Also, Wally-world has the Goodyear Authority line. I run those and love them.

Cool

I'm driving a '99 Durango SLT, w/5.2 and have just finally been able to get all 4 of the ball joints replaced.

So I need to replace at least 2 of my tires.
I'm sure you'll know why!

15" rims so I have some limits on what is available. Currently running 31-10.50x15's.
So anyway at the moment I have Pathfinder At/T's but I'm looking for something that will give me a little better mileage since I have been traveling quite a bit with my new job.
Something that has really good wet road and snow traction at the same time.

I had wanted to get some Kelly Safari SUV tires which is what I wanted in the first place when I purchased these but see that they are no longer available.

So I'm looking for suggestions.
Good wear and traction on the road with lots of highway miles.
Maybe something with an aggressive highway tread?
If that makes any sense!

i would have to say try what i have Bridgestone dueler A/T i get seriously 21 mpg on highway and maybe 13 around town but thats cuz my foot gets heavy around town. i like them ive gotten through minor stuff no problems and when i accidentally went into clay mudd they got me throught it enough but at the end had to pop it into 4 wheel to get it out was beginning to sink. Snow there perfect there 265 70 16s they fit on Durangos got a 5.9 durnago and they have the same ones on.
