    Just about to get new wheels and was wondering what tires I should pop on them. I have a dclb 2wd but want a good everything tire and has a great tread wear load range and what not. Looking to get 265/75/16

    Any ideas?

    As Taco and Harpo have said, Michelin LTX M/S2. You will not regret your choice.

    MS2's are being replaced with the Defender MS. Different sizes are rolling out over a period of months. I can't get the 275-70-16 in an MS2 locally anymore. Have to get the Defender.

    That said, it sounds like the Defender is all the tire that the MS2 was/is, with the added benefit of better wet/snow traction. It looks nearly identical and is made of a slightly different compound (more silica for better wet/snow traction and better longevity under load). Not many reviews out there of the Defenders but a few guys on the forum have them. No complaints so far.
