Toyo M/T or Nitto Trail Grappler M/T. they're basically identical tires, but the trail grapps are a bit cheaper with a slightly more aggressive sidewall.

edit: dont let the M/T on the title of these tires fool you. They have all the advantages of the A/T on the road, and all the advantages of the M/T off road. They're the first really good hybrid tires available. Ive never read a bad review on either of them, and everyone says they live up to their hype.

ive got 35" khumo a/t on my stock 20"s and they are quite on the road, wear well and get plenty of grip in the georgia clay, they clean themselves pretty well in the soupy stuff, after 10,000 miles they have done well in my oppinion, and wear is better than my terra grapps were. plus they have a 60,000 mile warranty

If you get the Toyo A/T make sure you rotate every 5,000 miles

The Toyo M/T's are super quiet on the road for a mud terrain and are absolute beasts offroad.

I have to say the Nitto trail Grapplers so far have lived up to the hype, they are fairly quiet on the highway and are great off road. Time will tell for me as I only have a 2k miles on them so far.

Best A/T for wear that I've seen is the Mickey Thompson ATZ, but it's also among the most expensive. Seen one set with 80k on 'em look like they could still last another 15k or so.
But there is nothing wrong with the Nittos or Toyos...

jake7 looks like he has a 4 inch fabtech lift according to his vehicle info on the upper right corner.
