Professor needs some New Meats for the Great White North

Stupid web board.  I just wrote like a page on this and it did an error and erased my post.  Grrrrr!

Ok... what I wrote... cliff notes version.  ;D

The A/Ts are ok on the street and dirt roads, rocks, etc.  Get in a muddy trail with them and you don't stand a chance.  They just pack up.

The M/Ts IMO are the best compromise between a road and trail tire.  Shoot I run them on my tow rig even. I have about 10,000 miles on them and they are about 95% tread. Not bad for a 7000lb truck with a Detroit in the rear.  The only downside about the M/Ts is they are not good on ice, were A/Ts are alot better.  Siping the M/Ts would help I bet.

The MTRs are not a whole lot better than the A/Ts in the mud.  I'd run those before an A/T, but not my first choice.  Also very expensive.  My BFG M/Ts were $225 a tire, the MTRs would have been $295 a tire.

The Truxus M/Ts are a good tire on ice and in the mud, though they are a bit softer so they wear faster on the road.  They are not too expensive though.

Best choice IMO are Swampers for trails, though I wouldn't run them on the roads too much.
