Mastercraft coursers or Cooper Discoverer

That is what I will be aiming towards when i replace the tires on the 2500.
I have the Mastercraft Courser C/T on the Wrangler which has now been assigned daily driver duty.

I love my Dayton, Timberline A/T's and M/t's.

my buddy has the timberline a/t and the tread doesnt look that aggressive.it may be me but how are they offroad because i do tend to go on old logging roads in kent. and here at school and farm fields so i want something with decent wear on them to that will last longer than 20000 miles which the set i have now have not.

For a street driven vehicle, I would steer away from the Dayton M/T's. My experience is that they wear like iron but they are LOUD. I thought that I was gonna jump out of my truck:(

yeah.i am trying to stay away from a m/t.i do want something with aggresive tread though but decent tire wear and even to last over 40000 miles.
