That describes the Goodyear MT/R, I'd say! Worth a look. I like 'em.

I have run four sets of tires on my current CJ-7: BFG ATs, Yokohama
Geolander ATs, Super Swampers, and currently BFG MTs. My observations:

BFG AT: First replacements tires I put on jeep, 31x10.50. Great all
around tire, good offroad performance although something more agressive
would be better on rocks. Wear like iron. Got 38,000 miles from them,
with plenty of tread left when they were replaced with larger tires
after my first lift. (a puny 2".)

Geolander AT: 32x11.50. Another great all around tire. Less noise on
pavement than BFG AT. Excellent in sand, surprisingly good in rocks
(ran the Rubicon, Dusy Ershim and Moab with them - no complaints), but
probably not so good in mud. (Don't know for sure - not much mud in
SoCal.) Got 35,000 miles from them (probably had another 5-8,000 left
when I replaced them.) I would have run them until completely worn
out, but I went to a taller lift and wanted bigger tires.

Super Swamper: 33x12.50. Great offroad. Suck on pavement. Wear
faster than a pencil eraser. Enough said.

BFG MT: 35x12.50. I really like these. Great offroad performance in
sand, on rocks, and in what little mud I could find. Not too loud for
me on the highway (it's a jeep, for God's sake!).

Note: I currently have BFG ATs on my '87 F250 4x4 diesel pickup
(33x12.50-16.5). Will probably go with the same when they are replaced
later this year. I recommended Geolander ATs for my girlfriend's
lifted Grand Cherokee. She likes them.
