All Terrain/All Season Tires

HI,
I just my first Taco about a week ago and i am going Taco crazy. I have been buying stuff to put on the car. For example,

-Westin bull bar black & chrome
-running boards
-weathertech frontliners
-clifford intelliguard 770 alarm system
-pioneer avic-z150bh dvd/mp3 player, loving it!!

That's just in the two wks that i have owned the truck.

My next big purchase is wheels & tires I mostly drive highway. My commute is 50 miles round trip and the only off-road i do is when i go ride MTB which I have to go on a dirt road. I am unsure since I do mostly highway miles if to go with an all-terrain tire, which would be less noisy and get better MPG than an all terrain tire. What do you guys think?

When I was at all terrain tires I came upon the BFG Rugged Trail T/A but I noticed that almost all reviews were saying that the tires were getting cracks at around 22k miles. Also, I noticed that were saying nothing but good things about the all-season Michelin LTX M/S2. I know it is expensive but I am willing to spend the money to get a good tire. Can't go cheap now that I have my first Taco. :O)

FYI These tires are going to go along with some nice KMC XD Series wheels, either the Addict/Crank/Monster/Rockstar...black painted. I haven't decided which yet. So many choices!!

 

Welcome to TW, I used to run Firestone Destination AT's on my truck and I have 70 mile commute round trip. I got about 55k out of them 99% on road use, I would of gotten more if I would rotated them like I should of.

 

Thanks for the infor Burns. After looking into them people pretty much agree with your choice of firestones. Does it make a lot of noise on the road?

 

Not really, I had BFG AT's and they made some noise going down the highway. The Firestone's are pretty quiet compared to the BFG's.

 

Welcome from another newbie. Monsters and the Addicts are BadAZZ. Tho you can't go wrong with any of the 4.
