I had picked up some 15x8 steelies for real cheep from a buddy of mine and i need to wrap them in rubber, my question is what would be a good on/off road tire that provides traction and smoothness. ideas are free to flow.

This really depends on how much wheeling you plan on doing. If you only plan on going a few times a year you would probably be better off with an all terrain.
If you plan on seeing any sort of moderate wheeling time, I think the benefits of a good mud terrain outweight the downfalls. Most quality radial mud terrains are virtually invisible on the street, get great tread life (~40k), and perform great off road.
If you spring for an all terrain, the BFG A/T is by far the best seller in that category.
If you go for a M/T, check out:
-Cooper STT
-BFG KM2
-Goodyear MT/R w/ kevlar
-Toyo Open Country M/T
-Mickey Thompson MTZ
i plan on wheelin on the weekend and then maybe on the week but maybe its just better to get all-terrains, i like the general AT2, ill keep lookin around.
thanx for the input.

ran the AT2 for a while on my suburban. I have nothing bad to say about em. I loved em. They were cheap, held up, and were great in the rain, mud, and snow.

I have AT2s on my Dodge and are a cheap alternative to BFG ATs. I actually like them better than the BFGs and only cost me 160 a piece for 35s
It all depends on how much you wheel in comparison to the time you will spend on the street. If you are going to see a ratio that is close to equal get the mud terrains if you are going to see a ton more time on the road then get the all terrains they will last you a ton longer and will be cheaper to acquire.

if you plan on rocks or mud, get a mud terrain. while the bfg a/t's I ran for a few months were great on the road and on snow/ice. They sucked in mud and rock's, Path's i walked through with mud terrains on (loose gravel/damp rock up hills) I couldnt even make it up with the A/T's
