re: New tires on the truck - want good looking mud tires but need good road tires…

I run Nitto Ridge Grapplers on my 4R Overland Rig. Been very happy with them. Tread life is impressive.

Toyo 50k +

Had those on my 20” wheels on my F250 super duty and they looked good. Rode well. I’d get about 40k on them before replacement

Love my Mickey Thompson Baja Boss on 4x4 F150.

After buying these, I've had several guys who work at tire shops tell me they're the hardest brand of tire to get balanced.
IMO, they were great when new, but they wore quickly and are now noisy.

I have had 4 sets so far and they haven’t let me down.

I have these on my son's F150 and I don't like them at all. They are slick as owl shite in the rain.

I've run Nitto Terra Grapplers and BFG AT2's for over 60k miles each and no complaints with either of those 2 tires.

I have Nitto Ridge Grapplers on my F350.
Way better than wrangler at’s,
But I have had problems w delamination.
Of the original 4 tires I have had one or two a year delaminate in the tread causing crazy bouncing. They seem to last about a year and then go bad. Discount tire replaces them, and another $95 road hazard policy, and on the way again. But it is a pain to have to go there every 6 months or so to get a new tire or two.
I’m in Texas, so some fairly high speed highway miles. We do have a big fifth wheel, but it has been parked for 18 months or so.
Do not haul anything heavy, just Texas heat and highways.
Really like the tires, but going to swap out to something new.

I recently put the Manchester 33x12.5x20 mud tires on my truck and have about 5000 miles on them so far. I was gonna go with the super swampers but the guy that works there said the Manchesters were much quieter. I haven’t hit any real mud with them and probably won’t until deer season, but they look to have good grips and for $148 per tire, I’ll give them a shot.

My MS2 horror story. Cliff’s version. Got a bad set from discount on 07 ram 2500. They never balanced out and would not change them out. Even after multiple trips and contacting discount regional manager. Transfer case and pumpkin started leaking. Guy that did the transfer case got pinion torque wrong. After all was said and done i ate 5200 in repairs caused by discount and Michelin. Neither will see another dollar from me.
