Cheap!  moderately noisy and wear a little faster than other MT's

> Yokohama Geolander MT

Never used but have heard from others that they work good and are
moderately quiet.

Personal recomendations for a daily driver:
Best, quietest MT - Bridgestone Dueler MT
Cheaper good tire - Dunlop Radial Rover MT

**********************************************

I'd definitely second the recommendation for the Bridgestone Dueler MT as an
every day + weekend tire. They are excellent onroad in all conditions (decent in
snow), and I had very little wear after 15k miles. They clean very well if you
see any mud and they really hook up.

I'm using the General Grabber MT's now, 33x12.50 on my 94 truck, probably have
about 2k miles on them. For the price, I'm very happy with them: very quiet
onroad (even quieter than the Bridgestones which howl a bit on the freeway),
they do quite well offroad although the sidewalls seem a bit soft compared to
some other MT's. I haven't torn them yet, so we'll see. No thoughts on wear
since they're so new to me, but again for the price, I'm pleased with their
onroad and offroad performance so far.
