My dads got em on his Superduty and they bite. I have 31/ 10.50 mud dogs on my bronco and i like em, not much for the road because they are really freakin loud! Louder than my 35 inch super swamper TSL SX.

You could get 1000s of opinions on this one...I would run what you have until they wear out and then decide if you need something else.

Your MT's are great. Buddy has them in 35's on his F350. I have Goodyear Wragler RT/II's there Military Issue, super wierd only come in 1 size. 36x12.5x16.5. I have never been stuck with them, except for when I hydrolocked my engine in a really big puddle, but If I didnt have stalled I wouldnt have got stuck.
EDIT: If there not bald dont replace lol.

Ive never run them but y'ought to try them before deciding you need new ones.
And Kai is right, just about every member on this forum has their own opinion of the best tires for their own specific uses.

I got to say, if its got big blocks and looks good, its all good. But yes everyone will have their own opinion on tires and such. Just go with that you like or what friends have.

stay away from Thornbirds, maybe look into the maxxis mudstars, i have a set for snow tires and they will dig till they bite and clean out fairly easy. They also get pretty good highway wear mileage.

Run'em until you need new tires, no reason to waste money.

When you get new ones, look at Cooper Discoverer STT's

Interco TrXus M/T haven't got stuck once, they are also awsome on snow and ice, and are also pretty quite for a mt. I will never run anything else on my truck.

I have the same tires!! but no 4x4 to put them on yet, my dad is a painter with a refurbisher of the military equipment and they replace all the tires, I got a set for bascally nothing, and they were only 1/4 worn, maybe 1/2....
next step, build 4X4!!!!!

I'll second that. My truck goes through anything with them. They ride nice, corner well, great in all weather conditions, wear good, and are cheaper than most of the competition. Course, I'm like alot of low budget guys and bought them used for $20 each. But I've seen 33" ones for $100-120 each new.
