I know they aren't fancy aggressive looking ATs or MTs, but if it just a 2wd I assume you aren't doing anything crazy so why not the Michelin LTX M/S2 series or A/T2s? Great tire that last a stupid long time. I've seen them hit 60K. That and they will help your gas mileage too. ;-) This is all assuming you care more about function over appearance and aren't trying to mud bog a 2x. Just a thought.

I have series looked into getting a set of Michelins for my Jeep (I run 37x12.50R15 interco super swamper IROKS) for the street since the Jeep is picking up daily driver duty. Only problem is I'm running 4:88 gears on about 6" of lift so I can't seem any thing like that big enough to cancel out the gears (imagine 4:88s turning a 32" tire...engine would be screaming!)

Ha yeah I mainly just do trail driving I freakin HATE mud. It's wat ruins a good truck! So yeah it's 33 like stated above. The only reason I kinda wanna avoid and A/T is they pack sooo easy! And don't clean out.
But yeah 4.88s with 33s would be rediculous. Just imagine ur RPMS when u take off! Haha

Check out the Cooper Discoverer AT/3. I've got almost 7k on mine and they still look new. I've never been stuck with them and I'm always in the mud
