I can't really recommend any tires but he ones I have used in the past. The BFG is the best all around tire and the thornbirds were the most aggressive tires but the thornbird will vibrate your fillings right outta your teeth. Cooper makes a great tire which I have on my Z71 pick-up and have been pretty pleased but again they are compromise tires like the BFGs are.

Mastercraft's are just another of the seemingly 40 billion tire brands made by Cooper. The Courser M/T has an identical pattern to a Dakota M/T(the Pep Boys in house brand). But all of these off-brand M/T's have a pretty similar pattern.

Expect similar results... 40k miles on the road. Nothing outstanding off-road, but no huge deficiences except wet rock.

I have Firestone Destination M/Ts. I love them. I was very suprised how well they hold the road evening in wet road conditions. They are a bit more money Around $200 for a 33x12.5

I also have Firestone Destination M/Ts they came on my jeep when i got it and they are great, but i am going bigger. Was going to get them again but they are pretty pricey, i went with the BFGoodrich A/T's also really expensive but i got a great deal on some slighty used ones

Different class of tires though.. The BFG A/T is a really good tire for an A/T.
The Destination M/T is more expensive, but it is a M/T. The tread is ALOT more aggresive than any A/T.
