After blowing a sidewall out, I was due for a new set of rubber. I wanted a highway tire that would last me awhile. I liked the Michelin ATX's, but wanted something a little more aggressive. After reading the reviews, I decided on the Nitto Dura Grapplers. They are awesome. They ride a little softer than the Michelin's, very quiet and have a deeper tread, somewhere between a true all-terrain and a highway. If anybody is on the fence about these, go for it!
FYI, Discount tire was first class to deal with. On their website has a price match offer. They sold me the tires at $200/tire. Very impressed with their operation.
