Hudge.
FWIW, Here's how I solved the on road/off road tires.
Have had 4WDs for last 25 yrs.
Been thru many all terrain tires, Was never satisfied with any of them.
Tried mud tires but got lots of road noise and poor mileage.
Last truck I ordered with highway tires.
Was easy to find a set of take-off steel rims for my truck.
(seems most would replace these steel rims with aluminum alloys - was very inexpensive)
Put a set of full out mud tires on the 2nd set of rims.
1" space between lugs with sidewall lugs also.
9 months out of the year I use the highway tires.
Put the mud tires on for hunting season and winter snow.
Am still amazed how much better the highway tires drive/handle on pavement.
Mud tires work well in mud and snow!
I am looking for some take offs as well. I run studs in the winter and would rather just have them on separate rims ready to go when the time comes. Also, less damage to the rims swapping over tires every 6 months as well. Before this winter, I never ran studs on my truck, but made sure the wife and kid had them on theirs. Since the wife drove my truck for a few months after we sold her Jeep, we put studs on it. Man, it drove so much better on the roads when I was home than my normal tires. I am sold, and since I will be back home this next winter I am keeping studs on it during the winter months.
