I do a ton of highway driving and I would say if you do the offroading occationally go with the AT/S's from goodyear. I'm pretty picky, so I went with the tires with the less road noise. All those tires are great on/off road and great in snow and on ice, but I haven't have a problem with mine so far, and mine are used! I'm sure there are a lot of opinions out there, lots of the guys on here swear by the MTR's, but I found them to be a bit 'clunky', plus I couldn't get a good enough deal on the ones I found used... good luck with the investment!

I love my MTR's. Great ride on and off road. 33's are smooth up to 80. (probably faster but the Kick wont go any faster :P)

Maybe on a Full Size truck!! Man Zuki's weigh next to nothing and if you use proper air levels and rotate the tires they will last a very long time ;)

One thing to look out for with MTRs is price gouging (sp?). Six months ago when I bought my 35" MTRs, I priced 5 tires by calling all of the advertisers in the national mags.  Some claimed there were shortages due to the war and increases in prices. I was quoted up to $225 per tire. I ended up going with America's Tire (maybe they have a sister corp in Canada) and paid $162 per tire with mounting and balancing. The tires were shipped from the wherehouse and ready the next day. AT had never heard of a shortage.



I can't help you with snow questions, we have earthquakes, not blizzards :D



I went with the MTR because it was lighter than other 35s and had a good reputation for sidewall strength. Just my .02.



BTW what does .02 U.S. covert to in Canadian?

I have never run a better tire in the ice and snow.  I dont think the MTRs can be beat in the "All around" department. I highly recomend them and Im hard to sway from Swampers.
