Default Mud Terrains

I'm looking for some mud terrains for my truck, my truck is a daily driver and can't afford to buy new tires every year. What are a few mud terrains that i will get the most miles out of. I might be open to some aggressive all terrains that have minimal tread wear also.

I have seen good mileage out of mickey thompson Baja ATZ tires, kind of an all terain but looks good on a truck.

Also nitto terra and trail grapplers seem to prove themselves in mileage.

I went with BFG Mud terrains, they l;asted a while, but alignment issue chewed them up pretty good.

I went with the Toyo MT's because they will probably go 40k miles easy if taken care of. Got them last month and have put about 2k miles on them already.

I just got these mounted up today(285/70/R17's) and so far they are great! Get very good traction in snow and are not that noisy surprisingly. WE'll see how they do for tread wear. Paid $860 out the door with tax and everything. I didn't think that was too bad at all.

I have Bf Goodrich mud terrains and they do very well in the snow, and surprisingly well on ice. These are the only MT I've owned but I would buy them again if needed. I have only a few hundred miles on mine so I can't chime in on longevity.

how many miles do you usually put on your truck each year?

I started with BFG all terrain TA's on my 78' full size and then got some Mud Terrains and I have been nothing but amazed at what they have got me through Once again i can't tell you how long they last as I put a 6 inch lift on and upgraded to bigger Mud terrains but I don't think i would ever buy something different Just my opinion tho I also had a tahoe with Kelly Safari MSR's and those were pretty good too but They wore pretty quick
