in my experience, goodyear tires are junk...even for street tires they just don't stand up at all - i have gotten more flats with the RT-S, GS-A than i think is normal or safe, haha...goodyear - not a good tire with the flimsiest sidewalls ever, meaning you'd get a flat if you ran over a thumbtack

same with bf goodrich - you're paying that extra money for the name

i'm running mickey thompson baja claw radials on my jeep right now and they're one of the loudest tires i've ever heard in my life but you can't beat a directional tire in the mud (i've yet to get stuck with these bad boys)

I agree with the guys on this thread - everybody i know who ran ATs because of the price just wanted a more aggressive looking street tire...which usually caked with mud and turned into slicks when off-road...no self-cleaning power at all cuz the treads are too close together

Interco makes a decent tire called "TrXus" which a few guys i wheel with use and they love it. but then again, it's made by the same people who brought the bogger for all the crazies on this forum who don't know when to quit -- "All i need is 20 more horsepower and i can drive my CJ 7 up that telephone pole!" haha <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/lol.gif" alt="" />

my advice - you'll probably have to sacrifice road noise for functionality when you're off the pavement -- meaning a mud tire
