another tire question

im looking for a 285 75. either mud terrain or an aggressive AT. im in wisconsin so i need something good in snow little mud. i dont tow much just a smaller aluminum boat. what do you guys like as far as a cheap tire and long tread life, i dont care to much about loud tires. if theres something expensive i dont mind spending the money if it worth it. ive seen them as cheap as 130ish to 200+

i just put on nitto 285/75. They are d rated rather than the stock e. They ride alot better and the weight rating in only a little bit lower. I have a couple of hundred miles on them and during deer hunting in mud and rocks they have been great.

The Nittos are great for being cheap but under the weight of these trucks and there soft tread they wear out quickly. THey are around 125 bucks or so I belive, you might want to watch your local craigslist.
