Tread Wright Tires MT
With all the emphasis on going green nowadays, wheelers have nuclear-reactor-size targets on our backs. However, even the worst gas-guzzling Jeep owner can join the ranks of Prius drivers by simply running recycled Tread Wright tires. The concept is simple. Take a worn-out tire and vulcanize a new tread pattern to it. Carcass construction is based on what is available at the time of assembly and can affect performance significantly. Performance-wise, the MT we tested returned great results in heavy rock thanks to a soft, flexible tread compound. Street noise was moderate to low, and mud and sand performance was average. With no sipes to speak of, performance in icy conditions suffers, unless you add studs to the pre-molded holes in the tread.

Tread Wright Tires MTWe liken owning a set of Tread Wright tires to getting into Disneyland on half price day. You're not too upset if you don't get on every ride, but it's a bonus if you get on all the roller coasters. We got on all the roller coasters. While sidewalls change based on carcass availability, we were extremely surprised at how much performance we mustered out of a dirt-cheap set of MTs. The medium-sized lugs were quite soft and supple, so performance in the rocks was good. Street noise was moderate to low, and mud and sand performance was dead middle of the pack. They proved to be an all around good performing tire that were fun to run. With no sipes to speak of ice performance is hindered unless studs are added to the pre-molded holes in the tread.

those are both reviews on just one tire - the MT - which is a very basic BFG MT copy tread....
my favorite tire is the Guard Dog M/T which has a tread very very similar to the Goodyear Wrangler MTR - plug "Treadwright guard dog review" into google and you will see a lot of reviews come up from different people who have used them.
If you like the BFG A/T tires, they have a tire that's almost identical to that as well.
