I like the BFG MT's and also the TSL LTB's in the 33-13.5 or the 34-10.5. Depends on how wide you want to be. I would choose the 33-13.5 LTB's for the price but the BFG tires last longer on the road. I have seen Goodyear MTR's in 31-10.5 up to 37-12.5 and They were on xj's, tj's, full size bronco's and f-150's and did not like the performance of them at all. I live in Norttheast Wisconsin and the mud and trails that we go on the MTR's get stuck all the time with six or eight cylinder engines. I use 31-10.5 BFG radial MT's on my 85 wagoneer with a fresh 2.5 inline four that I am happy with the performance on and off the road.

Well I am not sure about that, but I have the Trxus MT's, 33'ers and I have made four trips from Lake George, NY to Gainesville, FL on them, driving 12+ hours a day at 70-85mph. And I have never had any issues. They have 45K on them now and probably another 15K easily, but I rotate and check the pressure like its my job. They only issue I have had so far is I found a screw in the thread, between the blocks the other day. It actually looked like somebody screwed it directly into the tire. But after I took out the screw, even with no plug, no air leaked out, shrugs, but if that say something about the construction of the trxus MT, I don't know what does. They are a great tire at a great price. If you search, you'll find my testemonies on the preformance of this tire on ice, snow, rocks, paragon and on the street.

The best riding wheeling and over all quiet smooth driving tire is Yokohama geolander at +II. I have driven on BFG MT, super swamper trexus, BFG AT, Mckey thompson Baja belted radial, road tires and several other cheaper brands. Nothing even comes close to the comfort and performance of the geolander at. Just my 2 bits (thats a quarter) JOE

in Georgia with mud and rocks I'd go with the SS IROK. If I was going to be doing mostly Moab then the tire that worked really well for me was the BFG MTs. They are really sticky in the red rock. The IROK works a bit better in the mud since the lugs are bigger. Not quite so well in the "slickrock" of Moab. Currently I'm running the 36" IROK here in Tennessee.
Bias Iroks, I was running at 5 psi w/o beadlocks. I folded one over the rim while accelerating up a jagged rock. I thought it would have been shredded but it just went back to its original shape like nothing happened. Now I run 7lbs. MTR's are only good on slick rock but I guess a street tire is good on slick rock since its like sandpaper when dry. Otherwise MTR's suck.And yes Ive had em.

i've gotta give one to MT/R's. i've had mine for about 6000 miles and they are hardly showing any wear. they are 235/75's and have the center lugs siped.
these are the best mud tires i've ever owned, also the smallest size and lightest vehicle as well, so that might be an issue. they pull like i'm being yanked and have yet to be scared to go anywhere. course, i know it's limits w/no lift or LSD's.
even this winter we've had some hellacious snowstorms and actually got to play in every one of'em and these tires were just incredible. even braking was WAY better than expected. taking off from a deadstop in snow or rain sucks, they will spin just about forever in 2wd..
i would buy another set. kinda curious what they'd do in a bigger size and on my Ramcharger.

My Experience:
BFG MTs: not bad in the mud, but harder compound sucks in the rain. if you have a wide tire it sucks in the snow. Does have great wear.
BFG A/Ts: softer compound than MT. great in the rain. pretty good in the dirt,mud. great wear.
Pro Comp MTs: soft compound. bad wear. great in mud,rock. wide tires suck in snow at higher speeds. a little better than the BFG MTs in the rain(softer compound)
:dunno: my 2 cents + tax
