• Decent dry handling
• Deep enough tread and pattern to be useful in some mud and snow in 4X4 Mode
• Good mileage out of them
• Good price.
• Not too noisy,

I can't comment about mud use, but for snow and everything else I've had good luck with Yokohama Geolanders. I'm on the second set on my wive's pathfinder. The first set lasted about 60k and the second set is on schedule to make another 60k. I've never towed with it, so can't comment about that.

/\ this.....

On my first set on the wife's escape per the recommendation of Jeb at discount tire. Nice tire, very little road noise and great wearing. Already have 30k on them and still plenty of tread left.

I have the geolander HT-S

The Yokohama Geolandar H/T-S family of All-Season sport utility vehicle, pickup truck and van tires are designed to provide a combination of comfort, handling and year-round traction, even in light snow. The Geolandar H/T-S family features three different All-Season tread patterns (Yokohama's G051, G052 and G053 designs) and three different internal constructions, tuned to meet three different modes of driving. Depending on the tire size selected, Geolandar H/T-S tires address the needs of light duty on-road driving (G051), make a statement for the drivers who want attention-grabbing looks (G052), or deal with the heavy loads that require Load Range E tires (G053).

The Yokohama Geolandar H/T-S (G051, G052 and G053) family of All-Season light truck tires each specialized for a different type of light truck use.

Geolandar H/T-S G052 Street/Sport Truck All-Season tires are designed for the drivers of light duty pickups and sport utility vehicles that want to enhance the sporty looks of their vehicle by combining large rim diameter wheels with wide, low profile tires. They use a directional tread design that efficiently evacuates water to increase hydroplaning resistance and features raised black letter styling on both sidewalls. They will be available in selected H-speed rated, 65-, 60-, 55-, 50- and 40-series metric sizes for 17 through 20-inch rim diameters

...or whatever Michelin fits your spec if you want the best performance and are willing to pay for it.

Yeah, but which one?

After surfacing a similar question a few years ago, I went with Mich LTX M/S on my truck and couldn't be happier. They track better and grip better in all conditions than the Generals I had on before these. Mine are not the heavy-duty models (and the sidewall compression with load shows that), but I hear the C/D/E range models of the tire get similarly glowing reviews. If you can afford them, you won't be disappointed with the Michelins. I'm sure there's a more aggressive 4x4 model of the tire available, as well.

Mark Cooper had recommended a General Grabber (I think) at the time as well. Might check with him to see how they are holding up on his truck - he seemed to like them a lot.
