If you want good cheap tires and have a pepboys near you look into the definty dakota at/2s for an at and the definity dakota mt for an mt.


I had the AT/2's on my 2WD truck, not a bad tire in the dirt and mud...

Not so great in the rain once they start to wear down..... A lot of tire slippage when starting off...

And they are noisy......

Buy a set of Ground Hawgs
you'll dig good and they'll hear you coming 2 miles away
Love em for digging down and getting a grip.
Last set I had couldn't drive my Bronco to work since my employees would hear me coming 5 minutes before I got there

Ground Hawgs yep ran 3 or 4 sets of them
of course all bias ply and when they were cold they went thump thump thump
They still make them and even in radials now
Ever hear of the Gateway Buckshot Mudders ran those in a Q 78-15 on my 68 Bronco and my CJ5 , they sang good as well

You know what guys screw it I'm only 19 and only bought two sets of tires on my own. So what's the best Mud tire. I love the noise so that doesn't bother me. What's the best tire that'll dig and allow me at least 30k with rotating 5.

Looks like you really want a Mud tire. Firestone Destination AT's, Pirelli Scorpion ATR and Bridgestone REVO's cant really do real mud. But do everything else ok. Steetglideeok is right. Look at Coopers Discoverer S/T Maxx. The STT is their most aggressive tire many snow plows use them here.
Also my friends at work swear by their Cepek's.
