I don't know my exact milage. But it's got to be like 8k or so I've put on them and they look like new. I run them at about 37 psi. Rotate every oil change.

Amp Terrain Grippers 35x12.5 in 20"
Just picked up a new/used truck that has the Amp Terrain Grippers A/T G tires. I am still figuring out the exact tire pressure but right now I am running 40psi all around.
I am very happy with them (only about 300 miles.) They are quiet, both around town and on highway and when I come to a stop I don't feel the tread gaps like I did on my Nitto Trail Grapplers. I am not sure on the longevity of the tire or how it performs in mud/snow/rain. In fact the truck will probably never see mud but maybe some snow.
I would recommend these tires as an option for an off road option.

Mastercraft Courser CXT. I wanted something more aggressive than most A/T tires on the market, without going to KO2s (plus KO2s suck in mud which is what I go through the most). They are aggressive without being a mud-terrain tire and yet still perform well on wet pavement. I haven't had the tires long, but so far so good. They ride smooth and only hum slightly while accelerating and decelerating. Actually, I think they ride better than the factory Goodyear Wrangler SR-As that came on the truck stock.

These perform as expected—they provide very good traction and excellent feedback on packed snow and ice, with a small amount of additional road noise from the studs on dry pavement. I haven't had the opportunity / need to see if they hold up okay in deeper snow (I'm guessing they'll probably do okay but not as well as a snowflake-rated AT tire there), but when 90% of my winter driving is up and down hills on partially or fully snow-covered roadways, I'm very happy with my choice. They're definitely a huge improvement over even snowflake-rated AT tires in the winter conditions I regularly encounter.
I've only got a few thousand miles on them so far, so it's a bit soon to make any judgement on longevity.

Falken Ziex S/TZ-01 P285/60R-17
had em on there for almost 6 months...they handle like they are on rails, they look good and are wearing very well...should last about 50-60k
i have had to replace one due to a rock puncturing the tire but i feel that most tires would of faired the same
they cost about 190 a tire and i would recommend them...

It has come time to replace my old tires and i have narrowed it down to these 2. If anyone has any real world experience good or bad they can offer on these tires that would be greatly appreciated. I drive 30-40 miles of gravel road a day to work with ever changing conditions from dry dusty gravel, slippery mud to heavy snow in the winter. And then the similar distance
of highway on weekends to town.
