Can't see how you can ever beat the "Wild Country" tires for off road or on. They are super quiet with agressive tread and my 265/75/16 R (31") 6 Ply, cost me $125.00 a piece mounted and balanced out the door.
I have been in mud up to my axle and water, rocks, pine needles and wet highway without any problems at all. Had a woman stop in front of me on wet pavement in the rain and the tires never slid at all and I stayed perfectly straight.
If they are as good on snow as they have been in mud my next set will be the same! <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/kewl.gif" alt="" /> Mike
