Aggressive mud tire and everyday street tire do not go hand in hand.

That mud needs large lugs and voids to let the wheel spin clear em.
The street needs small lugs and small voids.

You either have to shoot for the middle and not be great in either situation or go to either extreme.

What are your thoughts on this? An aggressive mud tire on the road isn't going to wear well and your MPG will go down. You will be purchasing new tires sooner than later.

thats good information, i'm new to jeeps-mud/off roading. whats a good in-between? the mickey tompsons are holding up well on the road but the info i got on them says they are rock tires. they got me out of a hole once but took a lot of effort. going up a hill like a levee with wet grass they tend to spin a lot

I think the Boggers are the best for our Mud, but there not Great on the Road, no good Mud Grip is, For Both I would get the Super Swamper TSL Radial, or the Super Swamper SSR Radial. The TSL/SX is also a good tire and may be the Best for a Jeep because it is Load Range B, which means it Will Ride better and handle better on the road than the others and still pull great, But Do No Get A Bias Ply Tire what ever you get.
