What is the..
 
Whats the general opinion on "offroad tires" being used as everyday use. As most of ya know I am set up for a street H3. But I am moving to West VA on top of that hill and need a new setup. I do alot of highway driving and want a tire that will be equal in both off and on road conditions..
Thanks.

Depends on your definition of off-road. An all-terrian tire is a good compromise. Mud-terrians are too loud and wear too quickly for some - others just turn up the radio.

Sorry, but you will definitely have to lose those 22" rims.

Yeah I know!!! But thats ok. I want to romp thru the woods and mud where I am going. But I will need to be able to drive to Wash DC area once a month. about 3 hours drive. So I will take any info on what everyone else uses. I want to be able to go to my Wheel / tire guy and say this is what I want.

I find the factory duelers run good on the highway and also on the trails.
Almost 22,000 on them and no abnormal wear.
I might change them after they wear out but for now they are a good all around tire.

I agree on the Bridgestone Duelers. At 17K I had to have the front replaced due to some SOB and a knife, and when they did the tread measurement for the Insurance company, they measured out at 12/32 (they come with 14/32 or 15/32). Great wear in my opinion.

as far as a mud tire goes, i would vote for the BFG M/Ts. They have excellent wear and are good offroad, they aren't SO loud to be a nuisance on the highway unless you forget to rotate them.
