Uncertain what tires I will purchase when the time comes...

I like the M/T's but can only use them on the rear and they are not really a good street tire... I can't justify the odd looks of two types of tires on the back and the fact you'd be lucky to get 3000 miles out of them if driven on the street... Not really a fan of Nitto's but they do have some advantages that they can be used all the way around and get better service milage out of them... I think I'm leaning towards the BFG Comp T/A's? They don't have as good a grip as the M/T's but are at least as good if not a little better than Nitto's... Plus they can be used all the way around and have a decent service mileage ( If you call 10,000-15,000 miles service life?)

There are other tires out there that have far longer service mileage. However they trade off in grip for stiffness, Mileage, better wet traction, and speed ratings...

Any of you have tire experinces you would like to share?
