This is what I'm looking for -aggressive tires (not as aggressive as nittos or Toyos) -not too expensive -good milage out of them. They are going on a hunting truck that will see some sloppy mud roads that have to be gone through in 4x4, but they will be on the highway an hour each way to the farms. So I need something not to crazy for the amount of highway driving I do but I need them to be pretty aggressive all terrains. Any experience and suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

They are also going on a 3/4 ton truck

i went with hankook dynapro ATM and love them! You get an aggressive look as well as a comfortable ride on the freeway.. can't beat the price really either.

I've had the Hankook Dynapro ATM excellent tire for mild off road and freeway driving. Excellent for tire wear. But I'm more impressed with the Cooper Discoverer S/T. They have a bit better traction in the mud and deep snow IMO. I find them relatively quiet on the highway for an aggressive tire and tire wear is impressive.

Goodyear Duratrac's. I'll never buy another tire as long as they keep making these! Mine are 275/70r18. 12,000 miles on them and only have worn 2/32nds, no road noise, great ride, great look, great mud/snow/rain handling.

Yea the cooper tire looks like it would be much better for off-roading purposes.. the only other tire I can toss in here is the nitto terra grapplers.. threw some 37's on my old f250 diesel and LOVED them.

I love the DuraTrac! I would also recommend you check out the Cooper ATP through discount tire. Good price and good warranty.

Ringleader I've seen the S/T Maxx and to be honest I'm not impressed with the tread pattern. I'm considering upsizing to a 35" S/T with a 2.5" level in the spring.
