These things get flat spotted just from sitting haha.

I thought you were talking tire sizes not tread patterns.
I ran a little bit of everything tread-wise over the years, but mostly within one state. Sometimes I ran ugly mud and snow tread on all four, sometimes highway on front and m/s on the back, and sometimes highway all the way around. The m/s tires don't last very long on the front.
I drove my K20 to Alaska, and back a couple years later. I did blow a couple of m/s tires on the back (one old, one new) but I was pretty hellishly overloaded on the way up there.
