I dunno, check Tire Rack? Or Seth? Did they mention a price or tread depth? Is it worth while if a 4th tires isn't too expensive? Cause it sounds like you'll get wheels and tires and a full size spare?

Which is why I want both at the same time!
As far as running a spare, I think I'm gonna keep a skinny one as a spare, less weight in the back. Any suggestions?

I'd buy two new ones, sell the crappy ones for people who need spares. No point in wasting 25 or 50% tread on a brand new tire.

True, I hasn't thought about that. 2 new, 2 old, full size spare, replace other 2 when you can. Boom..... But then you have MTRs lol

I really dunno what people dislike about em, I have no first hand experience with em. I've heard they're louder and not as soft of a ride but that might not be an issue for you. I really dunno what the gripes are about them.

A friend of mine, her boyfriend has a 4runner on 35 ats and I know he has few traction issues. I dunno what specific size or air though... Me and him don't get along.

Because people like to go mudding and they suck in mud. For rocks they a pretty good tire though.

My last 3 tires were BFG at, km's, and now grabbers. The ATs were the worst, not saying they're a bad tire but I would always notice them slipping on rocks or falling off.

My bad, I never think about mud anymore, if it's across my
Path I'll go through it but prefer just trail riding and cruising around, don't care about how messy I can get.

What for everyone notice as far as running mud tires on the street, are they loud, do they wear fast or uneven?
