I checked out the kumhp mt's and those tires look awesome and they say they perform just as good. And for the price of them you cant really beat it. I found them for like 150 a tire.

about the mud kings i had a set on my old xj and they didnt wear very even at all. didn;t last very long but were great offroad. i currently have the bfg km2 in a 33x12.50.15 and will never get another m/t. it is the quitest m/t on the road i have ever heard and offroad they are incredible. great on rocks, mud, and so far i havnt noticed any problems with the rain at all. all around a veryyyyy good tire. just my opinion though! ha

I ran a set of 31x11.00 Interco Thornbirds for a while and I loved them. They were pretty noisy on the street, but they made up for it offroad. They never packed up with mud, ran awesome on sand, and stuck to rocks like glue

Hate to say it but Walmart has a exclusive (AFAIK) deal with Goodyear for the Wrangler Authority they look like pretty nice tread and are Very affordable and come in 31-10.5-15's

Default treadwright.com

I ave the treadwrights on my full size gmc. they have bf goodrich carcass 3 ply and goodyear mtr treadpattern. total cost including shipping $550. then 10 bucks a tire to get em mounted n balanced. they have a slight humm from 30 -50 mph but it isnt bad, you only here em when the windows up. i have driven them in the rain and there great and as fast as 80mph. to be honest i cant complain at all. price is right, just have to see how long they hold up on these florida coral roads. i wanted to get the cooper stt but I havent gotten my bailout from the big O administration yet, anyone else get theirs

if you want something cheap. go with the mastercrafts. i can get them for $115 for 31's, but that's because i work at a tire shop. their like $125 normally. very cheap for a very good tire.
