I got 86k from my first set of AT's and I am on 42k with my second set. They are great if the majority of your miles are paved.

I would say if you are going to be on the street more than in the dirt, A/T. Aside from that, if you have snow in your area A/T's are better in the snow than M/T's....

What I'm gathering from this thread, if you do most of your driving on the road, but enjoy the occasional romp thru the bush, and you will be using them in snow, the A/T's would be the better choice?

^^^ Yup. M/t tires are made to clean themselves out, and in snow that isn't the best. If you get snow, you don't want a self cleaning tire. That is why allot of folks on here say the a/t's aren't that great in the mud. Light mud is ok and they are great in the dirt and on the street....

for 31's i believe 135 around here.. on summit they have 33's for 154, which to me is a good price for that size tire, and such a good name (BFGoodrich)

I just picked up a set of Mickey Thompson Classic IIs with 35x12.50 Mud Terrains yesterday (For only $400!!!) and am switching to the M/T from my current A/Ts. I vote M/T. Like Matt said...they'll get you to more fishing spots, too. Just my 2 cents.

You know there's more than one brand of mud terrain and all terrain tires? Otherwise go MT.

This thread will help your decision. A lot of good points being made. Including the fact that I'm old and can't close threads.

Go with the MT's, besides the fact that they will get you to your fishing hole with less struggle, it also gives you a reason to upgrade your sound system for when your traveling on the roadway...ie, slightly noisy at times...
