bighorns or traxas?
Truxus , Sorry
even as a DD you would take the trxus?

IMHO i would sacrifice a little off road performance for the tread wear as a DD

I like the way those look and wanted a set... but looking at them now, they appear to need some siping in that middle tread area.

IMO, anything that Interco makes is not going to be a good DD tire. I gave the TrXus MTs a try as my first set of tires after the lift, and I'll not get another set. Took quite a bit of weight to balance them out, and they've worn really fast. Probably have less than 15,000 miles on this set, and they're well past half worn - probably only 30% tread left. They still perform well off-road, even as worn as they are, but they just don't last long enough on the pavement for me to get another set.
