good lookin' wheels. i'd steer clear of the trepadors. they're sick tires but mad gnarly on road. they're targeted at the deicated trail rig crowd.
 






For right now the 31x10.5x15 Wheel-Trac's that I have now.

This summer I'm going with one of these::confused:

Swamper Trxus STS 31x11.5x15
Cepek Fun Country 31x10.5x15
Cepek Mud Country 31x10.5x15
BFG A/T 31x10.5x15
Pro-Comp XTREME M/T 31x10.5x15
Maxxis Trepador 31x10.5x15
Parneli Jonse Dirt Grip 31x10.5x15
Kumho KM71 (I think that's what there called)31x10.5x15

ill agree with others here, i would keep my distance from the trxus sts's... theyre made more for sand and there isnt really much tread to begin with...theyre made smooth and wear pretty bad and im sure u can get a more rugged tire out of the list... if u check out the pro-comp Xtreme All terrain is pretty good, as is the rest of those... as in ur list, i think the Cepeks, the BFGs, and the Pro Comps r the best brands... good luck

I ended up with Dayton Timberline AT II's because the wife threw a **** fit about how much I was going to spend on any of the tires I was originally looking at.

ive heard great things about the mud countrys from several people even though there a relatively new tire. one of them own a jeep dealership that specializes in lifts and off-road performance. i was talking to him about tires and he said by far the best way for me to go was the mud countrys. he also said they have great treadwear, are very easy to balance, and give the best off-road performance for there ride quality. the problem with the swampers he said were they were very dificult to balance and wore very quickly if they werent rotated at the right time. oh wait there the STS's...i wasnt looking sry. i was talkin about the mud terrain
