What tires u all running?

Im going to need some new tires in the next month or so. I remember a thread a while ago about some retreads that were bead to bead redone and look really nice and aggressive.

If you are going to ask about input on tires it might help to narrow down the suggestions if you can provide the size and tread style you are looking for.
I run Nitto Dura grapplers that have been excellent for my use, but as highway tires they wouldn't be much good for someone wanting an off road tire or even an AT.

Michelin LTX A/T 2. Great tire. Really good in the snow and ice. Wears like iron so far. Very happy with them

Looking for a duel purpose tire. I do go out in the fields a good but its also a daily driver. I would say 30%offroad and 70%on road use. I checked out there tires. Was looking at the claws or guard dogs. Anyone use them before
