Default Aggressive looking tire that are good for the road

Hey guys I know this has been asked a billion time on here but I can't find an answer to what I'm looking for. Im looking to get some new tires that are285/70/17 or 295/70/17. I want an aggressive looking tire thats good for the road. Im not worried about noise as I have exhaust. I just want a tire that looks bad a$$, has good tread life and isnt the bfg all terrain. I had bfg's and I loved them but everyone and their mom has them. Im not worried how they do in mud or snow just interested on the road. Please post pics if you have them. Thanks guys for ya'lls help and time.

I'm a fan of Bridgestone Dueler AT Revo's or the Nitto Terra Grapplers.

Ya I like those too but I'm looking for something a little more aggressive. I guess what I want is a mud terrain that can be a daily driver.

so far the WalMart Goodyear Wrangler Authority A/Ts have been real nice for me in mud snow sand gravel and general street driving.

You can't really have your cake and eat it too.

Any "mud" terrain tire you get isn't going to get much mileage and almost all of them are going to be loud.

Mickey Thompson MTZ are gonna be an aggressive tire that has good road manners and because of the compound will outlast about any other "mud" tire out there. Only down side is they are a top tier tire and cost like one. My Cepek FCIIs are a pretty aggressive AT/MT hybrid and have been a proven on/off-road tire for years. A little loud, but I've got 32k on mine and still have 90% tread left. Again, as a Mickey Thompson/Dick Cepek offering they ain't cheap either, but you'll come out ahead because of the tread life in the long run...

I just put Nitto Crosstek 285/70/17s on my Ram 1500 and love them. They had a more aggressive look, put are supposed to last longer than some of the other tires out there. Doesnt seem to change my mileage much, but I have only had them a month or so, so it may be too soon to tell for sure. I hated the goodyears that came with my truck, and from what i could tell going from a 275 to 285 was the biggest i could go without any lifts or leveling. Hope this helps.

i see your from florida, so you need a tire that is good in the rain and with stand the hot temps you get. i think FCIIs are rally your only choice for what you want, all the others will either burn up the tread quickley or not handle very well in those afternoon showers.

I have heard good things about the BF Goodrich Rugged Terrains. Seems to be a good hybrid on/off road tire. That's what I am hoping to put on my truck in the future.
