: so....better in mud AND sand?? and as good as the AT in lesser offroading
: terrain?!
:

Rankings in order IMO (1st, 2nd, 3rd)

ON ROAD
dry pavement: AT,MTR,MT
wet pavement: AT,MTR,MT
snow: AT,MTR,MT
tread wear: AT,MT,MTR (mt and mtr are a wash)
noise: AT,MTR,MT

OFF ROAD
dry hard trail: AT,MTR,MT
dry soft trail: MTR,MT,AT
wet hard trail: MTR,AT,MT
wet soft trail: MT,MTR,AT
mud: MT,MTR,AT
sand: MT,MTR,AT
rocks: MTR,MT,AT

Conclusion: ( % on road / % off road)
80/20: AT - great wear, great rain/snow road tire, okay for mixed terrain.
50/50: MTR - good overall road tire, excell at mixed terrain and rocks.
20/80: MT - poor rain/snow on road, excell at mud and wet loose terrain.

For a 100km commute, I'd definately go with AT

That's what the word "Canadian" means! ;)

Ya, being a car driver for years....I didn't realize tires could get so
expensive. But those are only 31's.
I don't plan on any lifts for a few years (wait til after warrantee is
done).
So my stock tires have little tread wear (only just hit 30000km). But I
think I might invest early for a Christmas present for myself!
