    I have my stock TRD offroad wheels, and stock suspension. I'm getting new tires. I don't off road, or tow. It's my daily driver. I have a short commute. I would like a semi aggressive looking tire, but want something that is good in rain and snow too.
    I was looking at duratracs, but supposedly they rub in 265/75/16
    so then I was looking at the falken wildpeak and cooper discoverer AT3.
    Do those two rub in 265/75/16?

    Any other recommendations on tires? thanks!

    265/75/16 is the same size not matter what the brand. The differences between brands of the same size are minuscule. If it rubs in one brand, there's a 99% chance it'll rub in every brand.

    I put 265/75/16 on and they rubbed the mudflaps but that was all. Cooper AT3 is a good choice and Michelin AT2 is another good all round tire, Michelin will last longer. I have the Michelin MS2 but I run studded winter tires as well.

    265/75r16s have no rubbing issues. I fully recommend the p rated AT3s for your situation.

    I like mine.

    What he says.....ATP's are great tires for your intended uses and no rubbing on my stock suspension 265-75/16's. Definitely worth a look.

    Yeah, after looking, I'm definitely leaning towards these. I'm just leary about going up to the 265/75/16, cause I don't want any rubbing issues, and If I do, I doubt discount tire will just exchange them.

    OP,

    I have 2 sets of 265/75-16's. For the winter, I have them on stock steel wheels and they didn't rub at all. For the summer, I have them on aftermarket wheels (16x8) with a 4.5" B.S. and had to trim the area that sticks out into the wheel well on the flaps. I actually cut 3 slots to make a tab and heated the 'bump' flat. No more rubbing.

    aggressive but good in snow and rain? sounds exactly like duratracs, I hope you haven't discounted them because of the rubbing, like CRU said you're likely to encounter slight rubbing with any brand

    I only discounted them after seeing the price. I'm trying to stick to around 600 bucks for tires.
