Haven't really had a chance to check them out off road but The Firestone Destination M/T's seem pretty sweet on road. Wet traction is great.

federal couragia M/T.

Got em on my jeep and they arent even that loud on the highway, by comparison the yokohama geolanders on my dad's yota are louder. The federals are really cheap too but also made well. Seem to be wearing pretty evenly and balanced really well. Run about 35 psi in them and they ride better than my dryrotted street tires did. Grip really well and so far i havent had them slide with me in the rain. Not sure how they do on rocks, never had them on them but they do great with mud and loose gravel.

I'd recommend them

Just installed the Cooper STT's, haven't had a chance to get them off pavement, but they are quite nice on road so far. I don't have any doubts they will do well off road.

i know someone who absolutly swears by the interco traXus tires. hes got 33s, does a fair amount of road driving on them, says their not too loud, but they do great offroad also.

These are the highest rated Max Traction tire out there for both on road and on trail. They are a three ply side wall tire. Sipe the centers and they will give excellent traction on snow and ice, plus with the three ply side walls you will be able to air down lower for better trail and snow wheeling with out busting a hole in the side wall. They also get great mileage for a MT tire, 40,000 is common when rotated.

Id go with either the bfg km2 or toyo muds I got the toyos on my truck and there not to bad there a little noisy on the road after a while but rather clean themselves pretty good in the goo. I like the km2 also there a aggressive looking tire and hear a ton of good things about them. Got a couple friends withem and haven't seen anything bad with them

My dad has 33x12.5 Mtrs on his truck and they are the loudest tire I've heard on road, louder than my firestones and my km2s, louder than my buddies 38 tsls. It might just be the truck, but the tires are as loud as the cummins with straight pipes. Might just be bad luck idk
