Enjoy the little things in life, and you may look back one day and realize that they were really the BIG things.

That was one of my concerns as well. The M/T's look to have a decent amount of tread, and say in their description they work great in the rain. That is my main concern. These rides get squirrley in the rain with near smooth big wide back tires. The only bad comments I've seen on either tire was people complaining they don't hook up on the street. I'm not really worried about that. I just want to be able to drive it and not worry about ruining my DOT drag tires.Ryan

Here's my experience for what it's worth. Had M/T's on both cars and was not happy with them. The 32 now has Hoosiers in back (29x15.50x15) and Pirelli's in front. The 28 has Hoosiers all around (31x18.50x15). Love them....
Here's the difference, however my needs in a tire might be different than yours. The M/T's were lousy in the rain, would not hook up, and would flat spot after sitting in the garage for a week (not fun to have to drive them 5 miles to get them round again).
The Hoosiers are very good in the rain (you should see the rooster tail they kick up), do not flat spot after sitting for awhile, and offer a more stable tracking IMO. (on a windy day, a 2 lane road, 75mph with semi's blowing past in the other lane, the 28 tracks like it's on rails). The 32 is not quite as good due to the higher cab. As for high mileage and wear, I've only had them about a year so I can't tell you. So far they haven't shown much. All this is just my opinion, your results may vary of course. I'm very happy with them.
Have a great day.

ps. I like to tell people it cost me one social security check for each back tire on the 28, lol.
