$1350 sounds like a great deal for all the extras. Including lifetime rotations too? :rockon: I am super psyched to get them on before hunting season/snow.

Not sure if this is still applicable but the hankooks dynapro rt03 was a tough tire my old truck is still running around on the 315's. However they were the worst tire that was ever created in the rain or in the snow. I'm talking touching the brakes at -4' about 80kmh would lock all four up in 2" of snow lol and I slid through one intersection in the summer doing the same speed fronts locked solid. As for balancing beads I got tired of losing weights in the swamp and just randomly start having a vibration come back to find weights were gone again. If you can balance your tires with stick on or hammer on weights nothing wrong with that. If your prone to getting muck and sand and losing a tread or two beads are a good way to go to keep things running smooth. Only thing is their a pain to set up. I found 11 oz was probably .5oz too much in a 37 and 12.0 oz is to much lol. I'm surprised no ones talking about mickey thompsons? They have been a tough tire for me. I hate how loud they've gotten but in the rain their good make you feel safe and in the snow their very surprising they actually can go like stink. That's an mtz btw. Another reason I looked at them originally was price they were about 60$ cheaper a tire then other competitors ! Just my 2€. Ps those tires do look tractiony

Just came across some awsome reviews for the falken wild peak AT. Looks like a wicked deep tread like the at 2. But in a 37" configuration. Also the reviews for offroad are awsome with no complaints on chunking or tread damages during hard use. Decent tread wear warranty also.

Had a set of the Falkens on the JKUR. Tough as nails, and better traction than you might expect. That said, at about 65% tread remaining, they were starting to wander badly on pavement, and followed ruts on dirt.
