Take a look at Goodyear Duratracs and cooper stt's. Both have mt lugs but the lugs are closer together. Also both are sipped for rain. I run 33" km2's on my zr2 that i dd and i love the street manners and they do great in the mud. Honestly i'd think the cooper stt's would suite you best.

yeah man i love them in the mud, heard good things on the rocks too. i had a set of bfg a/t's right before i got them and it was night and day at how much better they were. i got them on my s10 zr2 that i dd and they have good street manners and wear good as long as you rotate them. only problem i've had is i cut 2 lugs almost completely off from fender rub lol

Ok yea I don't know anyone who has ran them but I'm a fan of bfg tires I have ran copper mud terrians way back and from what I remember they didn't last very long on the road but ill look in to the sst and the km2s I just don't want a set that ill have wore out in less than a year I've got to cut my fenders out under full flex I fold my front fenders in and always pull them back out by hand just don't want to mess a new set of tires up over not hackin them thanks for the info
