Do you drive the truck on or off road more?

I run 31x10.50 MTZ's. Had them about a year and love them..I DD them and they have some road noise but not enough that they bug me. I rotate them about every 5000 miles and still have plenty of tread left. put about 20000 miles on them so far. They are great offraod and I have only been stuck a few times.

I've had a very good experience with Trxus MT. Did a lot more street driving than I expected. Got over 20K miles before I retired them and then sold them to someone else. Great all around tire and did excellent in the snow and mud. They've gotten a bit expensive since I've bought mine, but so have just about every other tire too.
The General Grabber ATs that were on my rental XJ were really nice. Very quiet, but it was an AT so that isn't anything special.
But the roads on Vieques are terrible, lots of runs and washout spots. We never had any trouble getting anywhere, although it was pretty dry.
I'd say unless you get into really deep mud those wouldn't be a bad tire for the weekend warrior.

I have the mastercraft courser mt's in a 35/12.50-15 and so far I love them. I've driven on dry/wet/snow covered pavement and taken them through the mud a couple times and they have held they're own. I also definitely loved the price at 212 per tire.

If you want to go cheaper check out treadwrights.

"While most BFGoodrich All-Terrain T/A KO tires meet the industry's severe snow service requirements (and are branded with the mountain/snowflake symbol), selected tires do not. "
Only the 215's lack the snowflake.
May Void Warranty

Also may create more noise and shorter tread life. BUT vastly improves wet traction.
No All Terrain tire is good for mud.
Id advise BFG A/T's if youre staying mostly out of the mud, or Goodyear Wrangler DuraTracs, if youre going to dabble a little more in the mud.. But Im still not sure on what tire ill be getting
So take what I say with a lick of salt. (which is an odd saying)If I had the money for two sets Id buy the BFG AT's for summer and fall, and run studded Duratracs for winter and spring. But id be paying more than I payed for my jeep.
