I hate to question you, but have you ever run Mud Terrain's?
They are great for what their designed for, but you won't get near the mileage out of them as say an all terrain and then there is the noise factor after about 15 thousand miles, but if thats what you want I'm fine with that, just wanted to give you the heads up!! we cool?

Yeah I'm prepared for that. I need something rugged that can handle a whole lot of different stuff thrown at 'em. I'm on the local Fire Department, so I need to be able to make sure I can make it to the station in any weather.

What do you think of them? I know some guys who wheel their vehicles and swear by them. I know they come stock on the Wrangler Rubicons (although that doesn't mean they're good, just saying).

I run Bridgestone Dueler A/Ts right now and they come loose easily. I don't think I'd run them in the winter. I have Cooper ST/2s (or whatever they are) for the winter time.

If I could get 15K out of them I'd be psyched. I don't know how much longer I'll have my Jeep anyway...15K seems like a long time from now.

I have MT/R's on my F-350-- Awesome traction off road and in the snow. If you want them to last get them "siped". That is where they cut lines in the tread. makes them last twice as long and really helps with icy traction. I got mine "siped" at Discount tire co.

They are very noisey at speed, but I just turn up the radio anyways!!!

Good to know, thanks Smitty. Traction is what I want the most at this point. What about wet roads? Like I said before, my Duelers come loose easily, especially in the wet. The Coopers are good for snow, but I figured I can save myself money by just rotating the tires instead of swapping tires for every season.

Yeah I know, that's why I need good tires

Thank you for the prices. You'll definitely be the person I contact when I want to order them. I'm thinking sometime in the late October or early November time frame. I'd assume the price would be the same then?

How would that work anyway? Do you have a website or something I'd order off of? Thanks again.

One more thing, do you have them in just black sidewalls or do you have ones with white lettering too?

People are tellin me to go with 31's...I don't think they're worth the extra cost.
