TSL's are heavy and I drive it on the street now and then. They last a long time also. I just wanted something a little lighter, easy to balance and less prone to getting out of round.

I've never had any dealings with the goodyears, but my BFG mt's handled very good on the street. Low noise and wear wasnt too bad on them. Also they were on my Yota so wore pretty decent on a slightly heavier truck. The tires I had on my Tracker were Mud Dawgs made by Summit. They were slightly noisier than the BFG's but a heck of alot cheaper. I never had any issues with those either.

I ran BFG's on my K5. They had good wear, little noise, and excellent handling.

I ran 33x12.5 BFG MT's for years and realy liked the tire. It was a good all around tire. I went from those to 33x12.50 Goodyear MTR's. I like the MTR's much better in every situation BUT mud. They are great on road, loose dirt, and sand, awesome on the rocks, but you have to keep the wheel spin up to keep your Zuk movung in nasty florida mud :o

Thanks guys, now I'm thinking 33's ;) I wonder if they will hit 3"calmini 2" b/l rear overrotated and front widened. Oh ya 15x8 with 2 3/4" backspacing rims is what I have.

You may have to do a little fender trimming, but you should be able to make them work. Do you have a friend with 33's that will let you test fit them to your Kick?

 Goodyear's all the way,  I've seen way to many BFG sidewalls cut. Pro-Comps sidewalls seam to be weak also.  just my .02's

I'll back up Zukipilot on the MT/R's and mud.  I lurk on MichiganJeepers.com quite a bit and it's amazing how many people are selling their Rubicon's MT/R's or the bigger MT/R's they bought because they just don't cut it in mud.

mtr's all the way, but if your looking for an even better tire, go for interco's trxus MT, there my fav by far... radial, quiet on the street, wear like rocks... never seen a sidewall get damaged.. and work awsome on rock, mud, snow, ice..  definatly stay away from bfg... im having a horrible time with my 33 12.5's, I only bought em cuz they were cheep and came with nice rims. ::)
