Need help picking tires

I've got it down to Goodyear MT/R Kevlars and Hankook MT's. I like both and have heard great reviews about both. Cost wise the kooks are about $200 cheaper for 5. Size is 285/75/16.

 

I have a friend that's had his kooks on his lifted Tacoma for close to 50k miles and they still look good. But I have also seen quite a few people with the kevlars and they look good but I don't know about tread life.

 

I'd run either but if theres that much of a cost difference, hands down the dynapros.

 

1030 for kooks, 1208.05 for mtr.

 

Cooper AT3.

 

Where did you find 5 Hankooks for $1k? I think they will be my next tire.

 

discount tire direct ebay. they arent on there right now, i guess the listing ran out and havent re-posted.

edit: they have 7% off sales (the mtr price included $80 rebate and the 7% off) usually every 4 days or every other week

 

yeah i dont have the money right this second anyway but would like to not make this a last minute decision.

 

found this thread very helpful considering its east coast terrain. http://forum.ncfjcruisers.com/t1819-hankook-mts-295-75-16-on-6-spoke-trd-wheels?highlight=hankook

edit: another thread, quite concerning for the kooks. http://forum.ncfjcruisers.com/t1404-hankook-mt-rt03-tires

 

I have stock size Hankooks ATM's. it's a very good tire and would recommend them to anyone. I'm only guessing that the MT would be as good? I've had good luck with dynapro, so that's my vote.

I put my lift on about a month ago and when I get the $ I'm gonna go up in size. My choices are either dynapro hankook MT or the BFG KM2's. if you end up getting the Hankooks, post back on here and let us know how you like them!
