Tire selection for a newbie

Hello TW and thank you for all the great topics and crap Friday threads, I really enjoy this community!

I've been researching what my next tire purchase will be to replace the stockers (245/75R16) and I would like just a bit more sidewall and height with a 265/75R16 and yes I am aware of the impact the increase of size/weight will have. I then found each of these currently <$125 which is great for my budget:
Falken Wildpeak A/T3W All-Terrain Tire - 265/75R16 116T
Hankook Dynapro A/Tm RF10 All-Terrain Tire - 265/75R16 114T

I liked all the reviews of the Falken but I do like the profile of the Hankook and it's reviews and costs are equally good. Since I only work with light trailer loads, drive more pavement then off, no need for rock crawling here, and I am very happy with the 16" rims would you recommend any other brand or have any experiences with those two I've narrowed my research down to?

Thanks for any feedback from your experiances!

 

I just bought some A/TW3's yesterday in 265/75r16. Discount had them at $148 but matched Walmart at $119. They get put on Friday. I labored over this quite a bit myself. The shop suggested I go with Toyo Open Country AT2's, even after they matched the Wally price on those too, which was a screaming deal, but I still went with the Falkens in the end. We'll see - if they suck I have 30 days to swap them out.

 

265/75R16 Wildpeaks here. Great tire! Low noise, no balancing/mounting issues, beautiful profile in my opinion, just an overall good choice. I've had them on for about a month or two now and have nothing but good things to say about them, and have experienced NO issues.

 

I bought the same falken tires 14 months ago for $530 installed what a deal. They currently have 18k miles on them see bottom photo for current wear and I never rotated them as I’m too lazy but the wear looks the same on all four corners. Excellent all around tire for the money never had issues with them to date...I’ll be buying them again when these wear out probably go 285’s next time.
