Mud tire tread life
I know that there are hundreds of these and 90% are all opinions of people, but I will try to start one anyways.
What are the longest tread life mud tire that is aggressive as hell. Im trying to get 45,000 or more, hoping to get maybe a 60,000 tread life.
I have subs and I am a teenager with loud music so I DON`T CARE IF ITS LOUD HOWLING DOWN THE ROAD. I drive mostly on sand road and a two lane high way head in to town but soon will go to K-STATE for college. so the city miles will increase. I will need a 10 ply tire and getting 33x12.5r17 or 285/70r17 or 305/65r17 any of these sizes I don`t haul a trailer at all and don`t plan to in the future.
Right now I am looking at Nitto terra, trail, mud -Dick Cepek Mud country, Crusher, -Mickey thompsan ATZ, P3, MTZ, -Fierce attitude, Cooper STT, -Pro comp Xtreme 2 AT -BFG KM2 any of these and more if you got any
I have a long list but tread life is the main priority

I can tell you that you will get at least 50k+ with proper rotation with the Mickey Thompson MTZ baja. Best looking out of the choices imo. If I could afford another set at the moment, I would buy them again.
Myself and a good friend of mine both ran 38X15.50R20 Toyo M/T on our 150s. We both got 50K+ Rotating every 5-6K
Also have another friend that ran 35X12.50R20 Toyo M/T on his 250 and got 60K+ Mostly interstate driving 120miles a day rotating 5-6K.

ALL this depends on how you drive and how well you maintain them (rotate and tire pressure) the tires. for example,
On my 95 4Runner and my 96 Z71 I ran buckshot mudders. They didn't last as long on my Z71 bc in that truck I had the power to do burnouts (when drunk)....

First hand experience with 2 sets of 38" Toyo Open Country M/T on my SuperDuty with 50k miles each. Now trying the Toyo AT IIs on my 150. It's key to stay up on tire pressures and rotate them often to get the most life out of any tire really.

When you spend 1-3K on tires(of course depending on brand and size) why wouldn't you take the extra 30mins or $30 to rotate at every oil change?!?! Never understood by people don't rotate as often as they should.

Haha I asked myself the same question, but now that I'm getting my new tires and lift put on it doesn't bother me too much.
