Re: Best All Around Tire?
Looks like best price on the Procomps is ~$250 each, with the get 3, 1 free deal. I don't know if the MT's have enough siping.
Thanks for the suggestions. My biggest area of concern is snow performance on road with good off-road performance, since I end up seeing snow about 5-6 months of the year when I'm up in NY.
Eww, Procomps are made by Cooper... 
Too many recalls on those.
BFG's are cheapest at Wally World, ~$230 installed.
I want to ask, if I have the tires mounted to the rims, and balanced, is there any reason why I can't just take the old rims off the vehicle, and put the new ones on myself? Does that have to be done at the shop?

Re: Best All Around Tire?
The Cooper STT has siping out the wazoo (thats a tech-nic-al turm
). MarineHawk and Alan06SUT have them on their H2's and from what I understand are VERY happy with them. CO Hummer has the new Pro-Comps.
Good luck with your search.
OBTW - There's no reason other than convenience why your truck needs to be there to have new tires mounted.

Re: Best All Around Tire?
Thanks for the info Ipedog. I'll have to post some pics if I get something exciting installed...
I have also looked at the Parnelli Jones Dirt Grips today. I've found them comparably priced. Now I've got another choice!

Re: Best All Around Tire?
Ok, well I met a Land Rover fanatic today at Costco, and he was running the TrXus Mud Terrains. He said they are hard to balance, and don't wear very well... He had about 5 weights on each rim. And with only about 8,000 miles, they had worn significantly. So I'm not so sure about them.
But he also was like, "Your Hummer needs significant modifications, like a new front end and steering gear."

Yes, you are to f'ing stupid to possibly do something so simple yourself.
