Check out Goodyear Wrangler SR-A Walmart only tire. Cheapest price u will find. They look just like the $350.00 wrangler m/t but less than half the price. I bought some for My 3/4 ton diesel over a year ago and they are still wearing just fine.
I recently bought a truck with Maxxis Buckshot M/Ts on it, size 305/70/17. I am seriously considering replacing them with a straight A/T tire as the A/T suits my needs better than an M/T. The tires have approximately 4K on them. I would be willing to work something out if the size works for you.
