best mud tires!!!!!!!!!!!

i need help finding good meaty tires that wear slow on pavement and are loud on the road!! whats a good off road tire that wears slow??  

A lot of the wear characteristics of a tire depend greatly upon how you treat them. maintaining equal and proper tire pressure will help extend life, as will regular balancing and steering alignment. a big tire can get knocked out of balance with one good hit along the trail. how many times does that happen in one trail ride?  a lot of times. another factor of tire wear is your shocks and springs. incorrect shocks (too stiff) or suspension bind can increase wear greatly, leaving cups in the tread surface that create a much bumpier ride and irregular wear.

a radial tire will typically provide longer tread life. we have gotten good tire tread life from BFG Krawlers, Nitto Mud Grapplers, and Dick Depek Mud Country, to name a few. These are all tires that we've used for extended periods. We have used many others but did not have them in place as long as these were tested. even still, other brands have tested well and didn't show early signs of wear without warrant. when they did wear early it was something to do with other factors like incorrect shocks or lack of maintenance.  

had a few more thoughts:

we have tested many more tires than the three I listed but those were the most recent that came to mind. thinking back to others that I've spent time on I recall the Mickey Thompson Baja Claw wearing well but not without an increased road hum. yet pretty much all mud tires experience significant road hum after multiple miles. I also had good luck with the first generation Goodyear MTR despite too many stiff shocks up front along with too short of leaf springs that pucked the heck out of the front treads. frequent rotations allowed them the life they have lived.they are still rolling but are greatly worn. I believe I have about 20,000 miles or more on them and those were mostly while towing (installed on a Ford F350 Crewcab).

As far as all terrain tires, I have BFG All-Terrains on three of my rigs - the 1999 Jeep Grand Cherokee has 35,000-plus miles on the tires with frequent rotations and balancing - this is the daily driver that makes 6 to 7 trips to dirt trails per month to shoot vehicle features and events; the 1985 VW Westfalia has about 15,000 miles on its ATs and the fronts are finished due to lack of maintenance and a faulty steering rack. the rears should be good for another 15 to 20,000. i also have a set on my wife's 2002 Jeep Liberty, which is pretty much a pavement queen except for when i borrow it to get it dirty now and again. those ATs have about 20,000 miles on them and are hardly showing wear.
