go with the maxis....even the little bit of siping is an improvement over the Firestone, which has absolutely none. Even when offroading, you still need to drive on the roads to get to your destination.

It looks like the maxxis would clean (sling the mud) a bit better as well

I voted for the Maxxis Bighorns.I was just back home in SD and all my buddies run the Bighorns and they love them for the mud,cleans out very well and a long lasting tire.To hard of a tire for my liking for the rocks but great for the mud.

My dad had those big horns on his F250 and they didnt last very long at all. Im thinking around 15-20k. He later on found out that his tie-rod ends were going bad so that may of done it.
