Here's a pic of me getting my rear axle stuck on a tractor tire...haha...but you can see the treads on the AT2 and how effectively they clear light mud and packed dirt even in 4lo:
If you don't mind me asking, did you get them at a Discount tire or Belle tire or another chain store like that? And how much did they cost you? So far it looks like I'll be going with the General Grabbers. Thanks a lot everyone. It really helped narrow down my choices.

lol I run 31x10.5x15 definity dakota M/T's. They ride pretty nice other than they are a little loud. Pepboys has a 40,000 mile warranty on them I've put almost 20,000 miles about half tread. pretty good for mud tires.

I put the definity dakota MTs on my first gen blazer, and I travel old roads in the mountains that get VERY hairy. Many of the places, I am used to having to stop and go into 4L....But since I put those tires on, I have not been able to find anything I needed 4WD for at all yet. Say what you want about them, but they have gotten my *** from point a to point b where no other tire I have owned would have made it. As for road noise....Just allow me to say that if a little road noise is gonna be a concern, sell your truck and get a hybrid compact. That white noise just helps me sleep better while I drive.

I've got Firestone Destination LEs in place of the original Goodyear Wranglers which those tires were ugly as sin but they worked really well, never really got stuck even though they were completely bald in back. They were quieter, the LEs have some road hum, an irritating habit of picking up and holding rocks, and they lean in corners but work well and look good.

My tires won't work for you at all. lol

I have General Altimax HP's on my truck. They are performance street tires. Great for the 2wd Blazers. Not so much if you go off road.

We put Goodyear Tracker 2's on the Suburban, though. They are fairly quiet, and the tread looks a bit aggressive.

I'm currently running Firestone Firehawk GT's very quite and performs great.
My moms car has the Firestone Destination LE's and they do have a road hum as mentioned above but they seem to do nice in weather.

maybe you should get a better tire if you think that no AT will do good in mud. I tear through mud all the time in my blazer. Sure its not buried to the doors or some crap but like i said it is at least half as deep as my tire is tall.
