Hey, I'm a snatch fan, too!
Yeah, the MT tires are overrated, IMO. Certainly overpriced. I looked into them initially, but their sizing didn't jive with the tires I wanted, and getting them wasn't as straightforward as I'd have liked.
I ended up getting the Interco TrXus tires. A little leery at first, but once they were on the truck, I fell in love with 'em. Tires really do make a world of difference, especially over the crappy stock tires...
Glad to hear your experience went well (the second time) and you won't regret the BFG AT tires - they're very well liked and really do perform.
Caution: miles of smiles ahead!
