Default Toyo m/t vs. S.S. IROK's vs S.S. M16's

Ok guys im ordering new tires next this weekend and I want some input and opinions. I have pro comp xterrains 35x12.5x17's and they're pretty much shot and i need new tires. i hated the xterrains so im looking at Toyo open country m/t's 35x12.5x17, Super Swamper IROK radials 36x13.5x17, or Super Swamper M16's 35x12.5x17's. prices are within $100 of each other (all four) installed so thats not a biggie. i drive 70% on road and 30% off and i need a tire thats street friendly and not loud like the xterrains but also good in the mud, rain, and snow. ive heard a lot of awesome stuff about the toyos but dont know too much about the other two. i was set on the toyos, but just wanted opinions on how the swampers were.

i like the look of the Toyo's M/T. Here's a nice pic to get a better image of them.

Get the toyos, the super swampers dont last nearly as long even when in radial ply.

The best tires I've ever had were Super Swamper TRXUS M/Ts. The siping makes them AWESOME in snow and rain. The tread on the sidewall made them work better in mud when they were worn out than my BFGs or Cooper STTs were new. They also lasted longer than either. They are 10 ply load range Es and don't sway with a heavy load or a heavy trailer. They were no louder on pavement than the others, but they did ride a little rougher, probably because of the ten plies. Two thumbs up from me! I'll be getting a new set when these POS Coopers wear out completely.
