Really depends on what you are going to use the vehicle for though and how much road driving. As said, I was never really an AT person. Always had MT’s on my Land Rovers or Jeeps. But opted for the Wormdrive as a compromise due to expected commuting use. But I cannot deny how good the Wormdrives have been. No real comprise on road (they slightly blunted performance, probably due to weight and rolling resistance and must also slightly impact mpg).
If however I was going to end up in really muddy conditions more often. I’d be tempted by some MTs.
I’m almost at this crossroads myself. I want to change tyre size. Most of my driving is still on road, but I don’t have the daily commute due to working from home these days. So I’m torn on if I just get another set of Wormdrives in a bigger size or do I go for some MTs instead? IMO the latter look better and have more road presence.

The X3 are probably as good as an MT gets on the road. Under most circumstances I would say they would be perfectly fine for daily use.Thanks for the info mate it was very helpful!
how does the x3 ride on road compared to the worm drive?
I'm currently leaning toward the maxxis as they seems to be the best compromise and were I'm located they are almost half the price of the BFG.
