    I'm currently looking to change out the SR5 rims and stock tires on my 2015 PreRunner for some TRD Offroad rims wrapped in more agressive tires. Prior to my search today, I had narrowed it down to the following:

    Bridgestone Dueler REVO2 - Had a set of these on my Cherokee and they went almost 68K and I wasn't great about rotating them. They handled well and were great looking tires. Got really noisy towards the end though. $144 + free shipping from Discount Tire.

    General Grabber AT2 - I don't have any experience with the Grabbers but most reviews are very positive. A few reports of a slight loss in mpg is about the only negative I've been able to find. Walmart has them for $140 + $12 mount/lifetime balance. I've also inquired about a price match/beat from Discount Tire.

    Hancook DynaPro ATM RF10 has peaked my interest as well. They seem to be well spoken of. $147 + free shipping from Discount Tire.

    My truck will spend 99+% of it's time on pavement so part of me says forget the AT tires...but then I wouldn't get the look I'm after.

    With a $150 or under per tire budget, weekly mileage of about 400 and the desire for a better appearance, are there any other options I should consider? Oh, I'm 38 so I would like to have white letters out too..cause that's what us old guys do...if that makes a difference. :)

    Thanks.

    Getting hankooks mounted right now as we speak. Got them for $140 mount and balance out the door. I did a lot of research and every time I ended up always comparing thr hankooks against another. For the price compared to others I jusr went with thr hankooks. Hopefully I'll like them. I'm mostly pavement also.

    I currently have REVO 2s on my truck. Great tire, but not aggressive enough. I'm looking for a gnarlier looking tire this time. Undecided at this time.

    Under $150 or close, I have good luck off road and highway quiet with these, just not high mileage (life of 30-40 K)

    Cooper discover at3. Decent aggressive look, still comfortable for your 99% on road driving, right in your price range, and just for you, the white lettering stands out well.
    (Can't argue with the hankooks either, great tire from all accounts. I just like the look of the cooper a bit more)

    I just put Cooper AT3's on, they suck in the snow. Even in 4WD I would have the wheel turned left and the truck would go straight. And that was at about 10 MPH, Going more aggressive next time

    I have the Revo2s they are a great on road tire. I don't drive much off road but I have no complaints about that when I have. they are great in the rain and decent in snow, all around much better than the BFG TA KO I had before. I did not notice any loss of MPG either and I went up a size. I think the Grabbers are heavy so that may explain loss of MPG

    I would agree somewhat. But op asked for somewhat aggressive looking, and 99% road driving. Most complaints about at3 involve deeper snow. Your experiences may differ. We all drive a little different and have different needs and expectations. Personally, I'm waiting on some cooper st maxx. But those don't really fit the requests of this thread.

    I don't know how much they are but the newer Cooper AT's look good, like a more aggressive at3. Also supposed to be much better in snow.

    I think you're referring to the ATP? Kinda like a cross between the AT3 and the S/T. It is a mildly more aggressive tire, but is only a Discount Tire product, can't get them everywhere. They're not even listed on Cooper's website.
