Im so undecided on what to get. I just now discovered these here tires http://www.prostreetonline.com/pnsku/tir-20718.asp AND http://www.prostreetonline.com/pnsku/tir-20573.asp
And for 112.76 each i figure steal for a 265/75/16. Unless someone could point me in the right direction of a good mud or spectacular all terrain for under 600 for 4 or 5 tires. Give me honest opinion. thats all im askin........ Im goin crazy here!!!

I've never heard of the first 2 but they are very cheap for that size tire.
I had some hankooks on my work truck and they wore out extremmely fast, I wouldnt buy them.
I suggest checking your local craigslist, people are getting rid of good tires for very cheap lately on there, where im at anyways.
Good luck.

Thanks bud...... ive checked craigslist and everything was either bald, for a 15, or 33s and up

Hmm, keep checking, I saw a set of 4 bfg all terrains the other day in the size you're looking for with less than 10,000 miles on them for $150 .

I run a set of Republic Trailmark MS on my work truck(the 04 ST) that look remarkably similar to your second choice, actually the tread is exactly the same. The offroad slop traction is great and the road noise isnt to bad. I also run 10ply so they ride rough, but I dont get anymore rock punctures.

Dittos ^^ Unless those are tires you want to switch off for o/r only, then not recommended.

for the hankooks?

If memory serves correctly, I think Jutgin is sellin a set of the 2nd tires you posted in the size you need.

 

[Donner]

Sorry 'bout that...

for the hankooks?

These tires seem like they are not meant for daily driver vehicles... they look really smooth (no rain traction). Are you specifically looking for MTs?

Well, I have the Hercules Terra Trac A/W (they're an A/T, not an M/T). All the reviews I read were of the Terra Trac A/T, and it's supposed to be a very good tyre. I ended up with the A/W as the A/T was not available in the size I wanted. The reviews I have read on the M/T are pretty good too, but they are more of an off road tyre than on road (say 80% off, 20% on). Hercules are made by Cooper, and so far so good with the tyres we've got. I can recommend the A/W from personal experience, and the A/T is supposed to be better again, so if you can get that, go for it. Personally I wouldn't get that M/T if you do a lot of on road driving.

Terra Trac A/T (they don't look like much, but google a review and they score well)

Terra Trac A/W - this is what I have - great on dirt and shallow water and mud (so fr), and wuiet on road, plus plenty of grip in wet and dry.

I guess what im lookin for is the most bada** lookin and performin (mud and sand) tire money can buy but i dont want it to be sloppy on the road. Granted i dont drive like i do in my mystery machine but want it to be safe in wet conditions

Honestly i must say that the A/T is attractive but id have to go bigger i think like 285-75-16. And if you say it outta perform better than the A/W it makes it sound more tempting. And its 3 dollars cheaper!!!
