I would go with trxus, another tire that you didn't mention thats actually alittle cheaper is the bfg km2, thats what I run in 33/10.5/15, it's supposed to be a long lasting tire too.

Street driving, none of those. Street/Trail, none of those.

Tiny bit street/and mainly trail, the Trxus.

On my second set of MTZs and if you do some searching you can find blems for around $150 each new for 33s. The lettering on mine was messed up on the side with the white letters, which I wouldn't run anyway. They still carry the full warranty too.

I just bought a set of 32 x 11.5 x 15 BFG Mud terrains from Discount tire for $100 a tire and Ultra rims for $102 a rim. its an older model tire and common rim, but they found em for me.

also, i found out LesSwab orders their stuff from TireRack then they mark up the price. dumb guy working at swab shouldn't have told me they order from there. now i know im just gonna order my stuff offline and skip the middle man mark ups.

I ended up paying $850 for rims/tires mounted/balanced out the door vs. going other places you spend for the same setup $1400 - $1700. if i can hit up a photocopy machine i can show quotes.

Make sure you get a spare cause those tires are discontinued and once they are gone they are gone. Last I checked there are very few sizes left.
