    What's the latest greatest 255/80R17?

    Would 10-ply load range E wildpeaks (at3w) just result in dropping to 10mpg from the weight?

    I stand corrected, 50k is certainly nothing to scoff at either way.

    I had the AT2 in a 235/85r16 and wasn’t really that impressed. Seemed almost like a slick on any gravel or wet road. Dry pavement was ok

    Cooper at3 LT can get 60,000 miles and it’s the lightest AT.

    I love my 285/70 falkens except they’re p rated. If they were 10 ply I’d keep them longer

    I’ve been eyeing those same tires. They are basically the same weight as my 265/70 e load AT3ws so I’m guessing mileage will be similar and I get about 18-19 MPG average.

    I’ve been looking at these exact tires. How long have you had yours and how have you liked them? Any issues? Any fitment issues?

    235/85/16 Cooper Discoverer LT waiting to be installed on my 2012 DCSB. I'm happy with the way they look, big fan of the utilitarian stylings... They are taller than my Miata's door line:) Good enough for me!

    Looks like the website shows 31.77 inches. Might be that sweet spot for most people.

    I have them and love em. They are more like 52 lbs too if I remember right. I think it's buried in this thread somewhere. I like the AT3 so much I ended up getting a set for my sprinter as well.

    Can you show some pics of how they look on your dclb? I have the same truck and I'm close to pulling the trigger on these. I have 265/70/17 cooper at3 right now but wanna go up in height without losing too much power.
