Cooper STT. they compare to the MTZ, but are cheaper. i got mine set for like $600 which was a regular steal for a 33". As you probably live in the salt belt, make sure what ever tire you get has alot of siping.

cooper STTs look more like the Toyo MTs than the MTZs.. but i would say the MTZs are a good set of tires to have. i like my set

yea an LTB would be the best "mud aggressive" tire but will ride like crap on the road.

meh they arent so bad, but REALLY loud. I think i went through mine in something like 10k miles, maybe less. so factor that into the price. they arent cheap enough for that...
