Have you looked at the goodyear duratracs? Sounds like those have what you are looking for.
Id be careful about those. we had em on the trucks at work and we switched cuz they got punctured easily so we got mtr's with kevlar now. just saying they look nice but watch outQuote:

I drive mostly in town, on unimproved surfaces (jobsites)regularly, have it in 4x4 at least a few times a month, and tow/haul almost daily (more haul, tow maybe once a week on avg). They are quiet, wear pretty smoothly on a truck nearing 300k, and hold a balance pretty well. I have put a few holes in the tread with screws and such, but no major sidewall damage or anything. They are more than able to get the truck into a mess it cant get out of. Go with something AT, save the looks for a trail rig or hot rod. just my .02
One of my friends back home had The terra grapplers on his 3/4 ton chevy, which he beat the hell out of, drove down gravel roads, and hauled heavy loads with all the time, they looked mean and he got 45k out of themQuote:

KM2, not MT2. And I don't think there are any of the old style M/TRs left. Flem used to have them on Kunta Kinte and when one of em was shot he went lookin for another and ended up with a different kinda tire (with a similar tread pattern) to replace it with.Quote:

For the money, I think their the best tire out there honestly. I priced some all terrains at the same price for 35x12.5x17 ***Quote:

FWIW:
BFG A/Ts:
31"x10.50"x15"s
I'm not exactly sure how many miles I got out of them, as they were on the rig when I purchased it, but my guess-timation is about 75k (Worn completely baled)? Very quiet, and they kept balance well. They were pretty useless in remotely muddy situations in comparison with my other tires, but they impressed me for what they were. In the small amount of rocks I ever attempted with them, they had some side-wall flex, nothing crazy. I don't think the sidewalls were the strongest, since I managed to puncture one of them fairly easy. They are a great tire for the DD that gets the occasional off road trip.
Cooper STTs:
33"x12.50"x15"
I got about 60k out of my Cooper STT's. They were a huge upgrade as far as off-road capability from my previous BFG A/Ts. They self clean well, have nice aggressive side blocks. The side wall was a little stiff for my liking, but it still flexed. I imagine on a heavier rig this would not be an issue. When I wore them out and priced a new set, they seem to be much more expensive nowadays. If I went much more than 5k with out balancing/rotating them, I would start to feel wobbles. The blocks come with a small amount of siping, and do well in the wet.
BFG KM2s:
33"x12.50"x15"
So far, I only have about 5k out of them. I haven't seriously wheeled with them yet, but I aired them down to 8 psi and climbed around on some logs/rocks in the little ravine on the property I was living at last year. The side wall flex is exactly what I am looking for, I expect these to preform much better in the rocks than any of my previous tires. I have taken them in some mud, and they cleaned out well and performed just as good, if not better than my Coopers did. They have largely spaced aggressive tread blocks that continue into the sidewall. They seem to be louder than my Coopers were at this mileage, but so far seem to stay in balance better.
Chinese tires smell funny.
like lead paint and tears from child workers?Quote:
