lol Etal and Hawaii are right. You can get Super Swamer's which will be the best DOT approved MT you can get, but the ride will suffer, they'll track the grooves in the road really bad, you'll have to be careful stopping in the rain, if you hit any puddles hold on, you may stay on the road, you may run off the shoulder, they'll be loud, they'll ride like complete crap, and they'll wear out fast. Or you can go with Toyo's or Cooper Disco STTs, and have a great ride on the road, get 40k miles out of your tires, they're quiet, and they'll yield way better traction offroad compared to an AT without sacrificing much ride quality over an AT, but they won't do anywhere near as good in nasty mud as Swamper's. But with that comes with the fact that they'll be alot easier on your rear end than Swamper's which is also something you should be concerned with. Every Swamper I've owned (SSR, TSL, TSL Radials, Thornbird's, and Bogger's) other than my Trxus suck big time in the rain, and on wet roads, they ride bad, they're loud, you can't get anyone to balance them, and they all wore down pretty quick aside from the Radials. I'm not trying to rain on your plans of having a sweet looking truck, I'm just trying to help you out, I've known a few people that didn't heed my advice about Swamper's and hated them and ended up just living with them or selling them for a loss just to get rid of them to buy something else.
