I am using Maxxis Bighorns which are extremly good, not as agressive as the Treps but still an awsome tyre. they surprised me

The MTZs have the biggest side bitters out of all these radial tyres and perform great on road/off road.
These side bitters work well in mud, sand and rocks.

Given an unrestricted budget, I'd go MT MTZ's. But as I am restricted, my next set of tyres will more than likely be Maxxis Big Horns in 315/16's.

heheh no, beadlocks so i can keep them on the rim

I ran my Wranglers at 12-15PSI and i could still turn sharp and do donuts without popping them off the bead.

I like the Maxxis better, the tread works so much better and the wear is so much better on a large 4x4 compared to the wranglers, so i will compensate for the shoe popping with beadlocks,

You said you have only ONCE lost a bead doing donuts and not while 4x4ing!!! So you don't need beadlocks!! Don't do donuts problem sloved $1200 saved!! if you buy cheap rims or $2000 saved if you get decent rims.

I run 2 sets and my off roaders are the mtz! May sound odd but I had then on for about 2 weeks just on road when I fist got them to see how they drove and if I could afford it I would run them the whole time. Although a little noisier the truck felt better with those rather them rather than my roaders. All in all... Awesome tyres!
