Here's my .02 cents...

For an all around expedition rig where fuel economy is a factor, go with an AT tire. Sure, they don't look cool or sound mean but an AT tire will traverse most surfaces with ease. Considering that we spend 99% of our time driving on the tarmac getting to our destination, it makes little sense to spin those heavy MTs!

My favorite brand of AT tires are the BFG AT (triple sidewall, super quiet, etc.) They're expensive but they last a long time. If you got the funds then buy the real thing vs tires that are "similar" to the BFGs!

Good luck.

edit: BFG doesn't make AT in 255 85 so I guess my comment is moot!
