Default which tire to run ?

Im going to be buying some new tires and not sure what to go with yet....i like the looks of the MT but DONT want the noise. I have toyo ATs right now which are quite and good in the sand but thinking maybe the nitto trail grapplers or toyo MT heck might go but to the toyo AT or does anyone have any input ? I have a lifted 06 supercrew 4X4 with the 5.4 and will be putting at least 35X12.5xR20s on it

Any input......i dont go offraod much at all mostly driving around town but want a decent all around tire on and off !

Mickey Thompson ATZ, this is the tire I wanted. Pretty expensive though.

I just really like them, also I see Nittro's and Toyo's all the time. I think your chain tire stores sell more for some reason. I wanted to say it's because of the price but I really don't know why.

No I have not pulled the wallet out of my pocket yet. I am actually working on a set of Nittro's. They are part of a package deal. I'll tell you, DeereGeff had a set of Mickey Thompson MTs on MotoMetal 957's. They are sweet too. I would give you a link but I'm not sure how to do that. I think you can search for posts by him.

I find at 60 mph and above the Toyo MT's can get a little noisy but if you drive mainly in town that should be of no concern. Toyo's are heavy tires and eat up gas and brakes in stop and go driving. On the highway they are not too bad and can last 60k miles if rotated properly.
