Need help and suggestions

Hey guys, so I'm looking at getting new tires for my rig. I'm looking at the General Grabber A/T2's but I'm not too set on them yet. I'm looking for a tire that's capable offroad, but good on the highway. I'm a busy guy and a baller on a budget so I don't have time to go out and hit the trails every weekend so I want my tires to be good for what I use them for. I need reliability, nothing huge and nobby, but needs to be capable. I have definitely looked at the BFG Ko2's too but from what I can tell, they're a more expensive General Grabber A/T2. Any and all suggestions are appreciated.

Also side note, how do you guys get your tires put on your truck? Do it yourselves? Take it somewhere? If so where? Just curious so I can see what my best options are price and time wise, I'm not scared to do it myself and I have friends (and a dad) who have some experience in such fields.

I should add, I'm from North Carolina, so the wheelin around here is pretty rocky and can get muddy when headed westside of the state.

 

For a reliable AT that doesn't break the bank the Falken Wildpeak AT3W has been very well reviewed.

Unless you know how to balance wheels take them to a shop, I'd bet that's what 99% of TW does. Out here in CA mounting and balancing runs about 20-25 a wheel leading to 80-100 for a set of four.
