Toyo Open Country AT or MT???

I need to get new tires, 47k on the OEM BFGs and they are shot. I have narrowed it down to Toyo but cant decide between the AT or MT. I have the stock 17" polished alloys and see no reason to upgrade so I will be sticking with them. Common sense says I should go with the AT because I dont go off-road very often, but I try not to let common sense ruin my fun if at all possible.

I really like the look of the MT but I am concerned that they would not wear or behave well with mostly city/highway driving. This is totally personal preference but I am curious what you guys think.

P.S. I am looking at the 33"-34" tire sizes. Seems like the Kore Race Shop website has good prices on the exact tires I am looking at, unless someone has a better place I may just order them off the Kore site.
