Tire Recommendations

Please give your opinions on the following 37" tires:

Mickey Thompson Baja Belted Radials MTZ
BFG All Terrain K/O
BFG Mud Terrain K/M
Pro Comp Mud Terrain
Pro Comp X-Terrain Radials
Pro Comp Xtreme All Terrain
Nitto Mud Grappler
Goodyear MTR
Swamper TRUXS MT Radials
Swamper SSR Radials
Swamper IROK Radials

I'm looking for a tire that has good-looking tread/lugs--good for daily driving and off-roading (& I travel highway (~100miles) probably once a month)

I'm also looking for a more light-weight tire.
--Thanks--

I love my Nittos! Great on the highway and great off-road and snow!

Out of those tires you probably want to get either the BFG AT's or MT's or the goodyear MTR's. The nittos are good but not a good highway tire at all. The superswamper tires wear really fast because of soft rubber and they have bad highway manners. And I dont know much about the Pro comp tires since not many people run them. I like the look of the new procomp Xteme AT's though.

I have over 45,000 miles on my BFG AT KO's and wouldn't hesitate to recommend them. FOr a daily driver, I'd go with them or the Pro Comp Xtreme AT's. If you have to have a MT, I'd suggest the BFG MT KM's or Goodyear MTR's.

It's an excellent tire. It is supposed to be the quietest mud terrian tire available.

Take a look at Buckshots. They are some of the cheapest tires and they last. Some friends have them and they usually dry rot before they wear out.
