I currently have some Maxxis 751 285/75/16 that are about wore out that came with the rig and I need to look for more.

I dont do any real off road driving other than maybe across a field here and there for hunting.

I do use dirt roads often

I drive in snow

I dont care about road noise or even ride that much, drove truck long enough that most things are like a Caddy compared to them

Want millions of miles out of them

Want them CHEAP

And I do not want that tall of a tire, damn nose bleeders

Any suggestions???

A tire that lasts a long time will not give good traction.

You want a tire that's good? (traction), Lasts? and is Cheap?

Sure - but you can pick only TWO of those options.

My ex has Terrain-something anothers from BFG - they are more highway than the BFG A/T's - and except in snow they work okay.

For snow? Nothing will work as well as dedicated winter tires. Nothing.

Cheap is all relative too. I bought my cooper for about 225 a tire, and I didn't think that was a bad price. And I do A LOT of snow driving. I would definitely buy them again

Look into Nexen Tires. I have the AT2 on mine and love it. Last winter was rough for us with a few feet of snow drifting to 4 feet in places. I made it in and out of places I wasn't to sure about. Nexen came out with some new tires that look great and I just put a set on my brothers 2500 gmc. He got the AT RA8. Look great and should last a long time. Best part about Nexen tires is the price and quality. We have installed them for 5 years or so and have not had a single issue with them.

Tread Depot has fantastic prices and unlike Tire Rack they'll ship direct to your house. They have great customer reviews and their own road test. I just got tires at the end of May. I got Toyo Open Country and drive 54 miles a day over highway and side street's. They're very quiet and had really great ratings and reviews.

I was very happy with the Pro Comps All Terrains that I ran on my Scout.

I've also always had good luck with BFG ATs
