    Its time to buy tires. Im looking for some mud grips mainly. Probably run 285/70/17 but may try to fit 305's with a 3 inch front spacer lift. Anybody have recommendations. I do a lot of highway driving but i want good mud performance too. Suggestions? Really worried about tread life. I may end up going with the Ko2's but really looking for something more aggressive. How much more tread life do the bfgoodrich allterrains have over the m/t

    If you want mud or off-road tires, then worrying about tread life is sort of counter-productive. Since you are doing a lot of highway driving them maybe search for the quietest mud/off-road tire.

    I've had really good luck with my hankook dynapro atm's. My reg cab didn't need any weight during the winter at all (I'm in VT). And they are wearing great, as I do a considerable amount of highway driving as well. With all that being said, I would look into hankook mud terrains. I've been looking at them for when I eventually need new tires.

    Hopefully this helps.
