I gotta put that first before trail worthiness, it takes me from south florida to central alabama (in 1 day) several times every few months. I need as much mileage/good wear as I can get/ with as little road noise as possible, while still being good offroad. quite a predicament.

Stolen, I too was looking for the same thing in a tire before I moved to my m/t's and the Bridgestone REVO's were the ticket for the 16". Great wear, little road noise, very smooth and good off-road. Only draw back is the softer side walls, but I don't know if you run into much sharp rock in your neck of the woods, a sharp root etc. might get you though.

I also just bought some Nitto Terra Grapplers for my wife's rover, she has the 18's, they were not on my shopping list but Discount Tire made me a real good deal on them so I purchased them. First thing I did was take them into twenty inches of snow and they did not even flinch(like you give a shit about snow), but I have heard descent things about them on the trail. I drove her vehicle to Salt Lake tonight on the freeway and I was amazed at how smooth and quiet they were and I thought of you. Can't say anything about the kind of miles to expect out of them, but I thought I would just give you an FYI.
