Default Tire recommendations?

My tires are wearing insanely fast, and I want to get new tires before these ones go bald so I still have some re-sale value in them. I have a few options I am looking at, and I was wandering what you guys recommend. My current tire size is 35x12.5R17. I am not looking at how much they cost as more than likely I am going to get them from Craigslist with half tread for a quarter of the price lol.

1. Goodyear Wrangler DuraTrac
2. BFG KO2
3. Toyo A/T
4. Toyo M/T

I don't do mudding or offroading, I just need something with decent traction for muddy driveways and such. And of course the looks play into it, highway tires don't look right on lifted trucks lol.

I'm in the same boat. I like the aggression of the tread from an MT... but that weight kills me. I know a dude that had MTs and then switched to ATs and his gas mileage increased big time. I'm currently averaging 15.5-17 miles per gallon stock. I plan on putting on a level, and I'm going with an 18x9 and 0 offset... so I'll have an aggressive stance, but need a nice looking tire to go with it.

KO2 gets my vote, LOVE mine in E load range. MPG did take a nasty hit with them though, went from averaging 19 with OEM tires, down to around 15.5. I knew I'd take a hit, but 3.5 MPG is pretty significant. Don't think youll find KO2s on CL yet, they are still pretty new.

I would recommend Duratrac. It's tread design can be considered as a mix of MT and AT.

I have Duratracs on two trucks. They look great, quiet on the highway, and really good if you are in mud or snow.
