    Trying to find a replacement for the Goodyears loved my ko2s but don't want to run an E rated tire and kill my mpg either. Any recommendations?

    I heard they wear crappy. I want something decent for off road and longevity.

    Awesome, thanks. I'll check them out. Have only had experience with Nittos, Ko2s and Toyos.

    Yep, toyota's solution after the 2nd diff replacement was the ability to trade it in towards a new one, so went with an OR this time. Thanks!

    Not much out there if you want to stay 16'' (stock wheels for me) and go 265 and C rated which i why I asked. Thinking I may just have to deal and go with the ko2s but now not sure if 265/70 or 265/75

    x2 for the DuraTracs. Picking up my 265/70/17's on Wednesday.

    Had them on my last truck (dodge RAM) and kept them rotated about every 6k - 8k, and ended up getting 60k miles out of them. And a hell of a lot more aggressive than the KO2s.

    I just went with Toyo Open Country AT2 in LT265/75/16 load C. Deep tread (16.5/32nds) aggressive sidewalls, and good all around tire. For New England winters, half a dozen off road trips, and my highway commute they should do the trick. 50k mile warranty on LT. I had Duratracs on my 2nd gen and they worked awesome in trails/snow just a bit too soft so low life expectancy. Plus Toyos were cheaper and wanted to try something new.
