Trying to pick what mud tires i want

So I am trying to decide what mud tires I want to buy. I am going to put on a 3 inch body lift and am looking for 285/75/16 tires. Any other suggestions of brands are welcome.

If you're looking for something good in the snow, check out Cooper STT's. I know a few people who have them and they love them in the snow and mud.

+ 1 on the Khumo kl71's. Awesome

Had the cooper STT's and yes they were awesome in the snow and fairly decent in the mud but they wore quickly.

I have put 6-7k miles on these tire and have 16/32" of the brand new 18/32" tread. You should easily be able to put on 40k miles.

True dat. Not got stuck?!?!? ohhh i sure have ....in three feet of snow

lol

Another thing to think about Baja Claw=directional=impossible to rotate(need to be remounted every time) and if you don't remount/rotate they will cup bad.

EDIT: Another thing... Cooper (or so i have heard) bought out Mickey Thompson. The STT's and MTZ are made in the same factory. For a 285/75R16 MTZ it was like $190. The bought some 285/75R16 STT's for like $160 a piece.

^^Blackhawk you only really do short trips though. it's only really the long trips and a hot road surface that eats tires. And STT's in 285/75-16 are around $200.

I've got the BFG Mud Terrains right now and they're a good dual purpose. Work really well in mud (no surprise) and do great on sand and hills as well. Also wear pretty slowly. Mine still have around 60% tread after I don't know how many years and I still seldom get stuck in anything.
