Haha, they don't last long at all.. but they perform really well. One of my freinds have them on his truck for mudding only and then he just swaps out with BFG's, I doubt you have that much money though lol. If I were you I would check out national tire and wheel, they have some good mud tires, and prices aren't too bad.

ok we've discussed this on several occasions so if you search or browse past posts you will prolly find your answer there.
most would say ground hawgs cause they have a pretty hard rubber compound but they aren't awesome offroad either. the TSL ssr's are very good offroad and they last a long time on the street... Ho is running a set on his PSD and they are wearing beautifully.
boggers won't last you much longer than about 15-20K miles... given how hard you drive and how well you take care of your tires and maintain them.

Unless you already have your rims, i would stick with a 16" rim if possible, as the 16.5" rims have use a gay tapered bead that can allow the tire to "fall" off the bead at low PSI (like 10 and lower), the 16" rims use a square cut bead and are a lot better when aired down.
For tires i have to agree with cutts, either the ground hawgs or the SSR's l
