20" of gumbo muck - would be nice but its not necessary

ride well on the street - i want them to be stable on the road

quiet on the highway - my jeep is already loud enough, loud tires wont hurt

treadwear - id like for these to last AT LEAST 30k

snow - most mtr’s do fairly well in snow, as do at’s, but yes itd be nice

basically im looking for a decent balance of offroad capability and highway manners, which is why im not set on either at’s or mt’s. most of my driving is obviously on the streets so id like something with some highway manners (stability mostly), but i want to be able to go in the mud without getting stuck in the first puddle i drive into.
