Hate to be "that guy" but I don't like these tires. Had one set (duals) on the work truck and have another on the '97 c2500. The duals made it to 20k (barely) and I'll be impressed if the ones on the c2500 make it to 35k the way they're wearing (95% hwy, no towing or real hauling).
The el dorado mtz sport (value brand, like 4 different brands carry the pattern) lasted longer... and were $160 a tire.
These felt "wandery" to me. And we have run Maxxis Bighorns, the MTZ sports, Firestone Destination MT's, and currently Cooper STT's. So far the Coopers have been the best.
They're a good tire if you don't mind them wearing out quick. Hopefully you have better luck with them! I'm contemplating going to a mud tire myself (in about 40k miles), even though my pickup never even sees serious mud.

Strange,my first impression of these tires was that they tracked straight and were very solid going up our canyon.Much better than the KM2s and the Goodyear Silent Armours I had before them.Maybe it's the way my burb is set up....6'' lift,3/4t(stiff torsion bars),steering dampner 
Maybe the extra weight of the BBC helps some,but I really like the way it drives.
I like having mud tires due to the readily availability of dirt,rocks and mud(when it rains).The KM2s were pretty good in the snow,hopefully we get some soon so I can test the Dynapros.
One more thing,the tire shop said to keep 'em at max air pressure(50psi) all the time.

If they feel good now, then I think you're set. I have only drove a vehicle on KM2's once, and that was an f250, so any feeling of "steering" or handling" is pretty much nonexistent.
I like mud tires even for over the road use with light dirt roads... Most aren't much, if any louder than an all terrain. They seem to throw fewer rocks than all terrains as well. I know for a fact those Dynapros do well in the snow though, the c2500 goes pretty well with help from the G80.
I never go by what the shop says, at least on my pickup. I just air them up to where the tread contact looks the best. If you drive on gravel and then pull onto pavement it's easy to see where the tread is touching the pavement and where it isn't. How much does your Burb weigh?? May be heavy enough to need max psi, hahaha.

Funny thing,I've never weighed it.I should do that some day
Advertised curb weight is a little over 5500lbs,add all the extra stuff I've added and what the PO put on it I'd say it's close to 6200lbs now,maybe more
Some day I'll be able to see how it tows my loaded toy hauler,I know the KM2s did it quite nicely,very stable
Whats nice is the Dynapros are E rated whereas the KM2s were Ds.

I haven't weighed my truck in a few years but I know it was a bit north of 5k.
Now granted I'm heavier than you, but I probably only had half a tank of fuel.
