Post 35 inch all terrain or mud terrain which is best

i was wondering, i will be purchasing 35 in. tires. i really like the way the bf goodrich mud terrain looks but im wondering how it wears on the highway i travel about 15 miles on the highway every day and want to know how the tread wears, if it doesnt do very good ill probably go for the a/t's, any advice/opinion greatly appreciated

thanks

Its a mud terrain, it won't wear as well as the AT will. You can get up to 40,000 mi out of those tires as long as you stay off of gravel as much as you can (1mi on gravel=10mi on pavement) and rotate your tires every 4000 mi.

My 2 cents worth

High mileage on the road = AT's.

High mileage off the road = MT's

I own AT's, and they are great tires dry or wet, cornering, stopping and they look very good.
