Howdy folks, I'm considering these tires for my daily driver. Overkill I know, but I like the skull and crossbone sidewall gimmick. $270 (google online),$295 (belltire, local). Not positive I'm buying, that's pricey for a 35 X 12, and I'm far from rich. Plus they'd be a prime tire to rip-off. As much as I like em, I do have a tad of common sense and wonder if I should leave these to the big rollers, car show types, and just settle for a nice looking tuff tire. Thoughts or suggestion would be appreciate.
Thanks in advance

check these out.....the DC's are made by cooper. good tires but with a high price for what you get..

Interco m/t's can be found for under 200 a piece and IMO, are a much better tire.

or my personal favorite, along with a lot of the "Hard Core" guy's..........

speaking of cooper, cooper discover stt has been an excellent tire for me, its well worth the money and also has a gnarley sidewall to boot. cepeks are nice but it is hard to justify such an expensive tire.

the stt is alot more road friendly also, they don't do so well in the mud though, I have the toyo version of the stt on the burb, I originally bought them for the jeep, that lasted only one day, then the trXus got put on.

I've got MickeyThompson MTZs. They are actually pretty good tires. No noticeable wear after about 5,000miles. Great street manners and decent mud. Very good rocks. I keep up with rubicons running same size MTRs. Should be available for about 200/tire
