I'm looking for the ultimate tire... need idea's??

I have 325/65R18 Toyo A/T on my DMax now, and am grinding them off pretty quick... so i'm gonna need some new rubbers in the next few months, and was wondering what you guys have had good luck with. I'm thinkin something like the Toyo M/T's, Mickey Thompson ATZ's, BF Goodrich Mud Terrain KM2's, etc.. I want something thats gonna last and do well in snow and mud... since i'm an avid hunter, and live in MT, I need a good snow/mud tire.

Please chime in and let me know what u think

Thx cody

From what I've seen using both the toyo M/T and A/T's the mud terrains wear about twice as fast. I would give the Mickey Thompson ATZ a try, I have no idea how they wear but I like the tread design. I bet the KM2's do the best in the mud though.

Ive had my mickey thompson MTZs well over a year now and there is minimal wear, they do excellent in rain and snow, and their not loud.

my toyo m/t's r still in good shape...tire wear can also be shorted by the driver ; ) the easier you are on them obviosly the longer they'll last
