Ok everyone, I recently just got done having fun of trying to find a set of new tires for my truck.  And let me just say that reviews helped out A LOT!  I only wish I had read farther and done a little more research before selecting my current tires.  I had pre-ordered them before I checked ALL tires.  But I will see how my current set does. 

That being said I'm going to start a Tire Review sticky.  This will apply to all types of tires.  ATs, MTs, M+S, Winter, Performance... etc.  If you've had them, we want to know what you think and not just "Deaz Good Tires" 

Here's a layout to use

Your Location
Size
Manufacturer/Model
Mileage (the amount you got, or current.  Not all tires have a UTQG (Uniform Tire Quality Grading)
Price (if you can remember)
Place of Purchase (local dealer, or website)
Opinions on Strength and Weaknesses of the tire (awesome/poor in mud... etc)

Also if a link to the tire's site would be nice, as well as a picture.  That way people can get an idea what you riding on.

ANY POSTS OTHER THAN REVIEWS WILL BE DELETED!!!

BTW... here is a good reference for All Terrians and Mud Terrains.  The written reviews are very decent, and the personal reviews can be very informative, though some lack information.  Hence our no "Deaz Good Tires" rule.

If you anyone has any links to add for some good review sites please PM me.  I am looking for sites that cover a wide range of manufacturers and styles.  I will check them out prior to posting on here.

Well I can put down a couple, but they won't be for the Frontier sizes, but will hopefully you will get the idea.

Location: South Dakota
Size: 35x12.5 R16
Manufacturer/Model: Super Swamper/Interco Trxus STS A/T
Mileage: 9000 miles or so
Price: $214 ea $268 now
Place of Purchase: Tyres International www.tyres1.com
Opinion:
Interco claims they are meant for Sand and Snow, with decent on road handling.  Driving in snow was like driving in sand... it tended to float through it so driving was interesting.  They wear really quickly, I changed out after 9000 miles or so and about 85% of the tread was gone.  In mud... you better have a buddy.  The side lugs did better at getting me out than the rest of the tire and I still got stuck.  Road noise is pretty loud and got annoying after awhile.  They rubbed my fender well at full left.  They were also very rough on streets, i guess from the really stiff side wall.  Honestly there is a lot better out there.

Location: South Dakota
Size: 315/75R16
Manufacturer/Model: Toyo Open Country MT
Mileage: under 100 miles so far
Price: $267 Ea
Place of Purchase: Dale's Tire Rapid City, SD
Opinion:
I must say so far I am impressed with these.  The road noise is a lot less than I was expecting for a Mud Terrian.  Less even than the Intercos.  The side wall flexes a little more, but the ride quality is 200 times better.  A lot smoother driving down the interstate.  I don't have my rubbing issue anymore either at full left.  I haven't had a chance to play with them yet.  Waiting for the snow to come, and then hopefully find a place to go mudding.

Location: South Dakota
Size: 235/55R18
Manufacturer/Model: Goodyear Eagle F1 All Season
Mileage: 500 Miles or so
Price: $198 Ea
Place of Purchase: Sam's Club Rapid City, SD
Opinion:
Granted this is on my X-runner... but still keep looking.  This isn't even that great of a perfomance tire.  I even drifted a turn in town doing 25 mph in 3rd gear on dry pavement.  It does alright in a few inches of snow, but hates anything less or more.  Ice on the road?... start walking.  I'm going to pick up a set of 20" rims and put some BFG KDWIIs, and find some pure winter tires for my stock rims.  These are a joke for all seasons.  They take forever to warm up and get sticky.  I drive 15 miles on interstate to go to work, and by the time I get to work they're finally warmed up enough to stick decently.

Location: Virginia Beach VA
Size: LT22575R15
Manufacture: Firestone Destination LE
Mileage: 12000 miles
Price: 550 all four mount balance
Place: NEX Autoport
Pros: For an A/T they have very good wet and dry
traction. Very little wear shown at current mileage. I
expect to get the full 50,000 out of them. Handled little
bit of snow we get as well as they can in a 2WD truck
with an empty laden bed.
Cons: None really to speak of. I am happy with these
tires!

Location: Waukegan, IL
Size: LT265/75R-16 E1 123R
Manufacturer/Model: Bridgestone Dueler A/T Revo 2
Mileage: ~40,000 so far 
Price: ~$150.00ea (just the tire, no svcs)
Place of Purchase: Discount Tire, Palatine, IL (discounttire.com)
Opinions on Strength and Weaknesses of the tire: I should note that I originally scouted this tire on Tirerack.com to check out the reviews. Overall, this has been a fantastic tire, and I have driven long highway trips, serious offroad (mud/rocks at Badlands, IN), snow and ice. Coupled with the decent traction control of the Frontier, I have never had any control problems. I would also recommend the LT version of the tire, since it seems to wear a lot longer (the tire is barely showing wear), and the offroad abilities don't seem to be affected. A definite buy again, despite the massive price increase since I purchased them (~$235.00 each now).
