a friend of mine just put a set of goodyear mtr's on from wally world they seem to do great on everything so far! and a lot cheaper than my tsl's, quieter, and wear alot better and I believe that they are lighter, weight makes a big diffrence on suzukis, he also has a set of boggers and each tire is over a hundered pounds each! so it drains alot of horse power with over four hundered pounds of tires and wheels.

For you, Super Swamper Thornbirds.  It's a great off road tire with exceptional on road manners.

My dad's heep has the Les Shwab equivilent of the BFGs, 33x12.50. They look esentilly the same, and it wheels awesome. It also locked front and rear though so that helps in the traction dept.

We run a combination of Rock, Dirt and Mud and the guys with the MTR's get alot better traction on everything but thick mud. I'm running 33x12.50 BFG MT's and they do well in the thick stuff, but when you hit loose dirt or Rock they slip alot, where MTR's grab realy good. What are you looking for in a tire? What kind of trail riding?

You must not like 92Sidekick4x4 very much. ;)

Thornturds are by far the WORSE off-road tire I've ever seen, made even worse on a light Zook.  On road, they slip and slide when wet.
