Yes, I know mud tires do much better everywhere off road, and have run much more aggressive mud tires than you are looking at for a couple hundred thousand miles. But they suck on the road.
I have not personally run any of those tires, but I have known several people that have run the Nittos and no one has any nice things to say about them, other than how they look. They are a brodozer tire, not meant for actual off road use.

Thanks for the reply. I am in Illinois but we are hitting the road full time and won’t be back in Illinois during the winter. We will mostly be in the southwest Colorado Southern California but no snow. I’ve had my fill of snow and winter. We will go with the weather basically. We will be mostly on trails forest roads nothing crazy off road. That’s why I’m wondering if the MT’s are the wrong choice since we will be traveling on pavement to get to where we want to go. I’ve never ran a mud tire before so I have no experience with them. The Nitto’s were my 3rd choice. I’m pretty much decided on either the mickey’s or the Yokohama’s.
