    Hello All,
    I am having trouble deciding on new tires for my 2020 TRD Sport. I am a Park Ranger in Arizona and I find myself doing about 75%/25% highway/off road. Of that 25% about 20% is just dirt and fire roads but that last 5% can be some no bullshit rocky terrain. I plan on sticking with the stock 265/65/R17 but to my understanding I can snag a tiny bit of extra height with an 265/70/R17 which I'm not opposed to. I am really just looking for reliability and to not absolutely crush my fuel economy.

    My top picks (feel free to throw in other suggestions)

    I’ll probably get some hate, but I’ve always loved my BFG KO2s. I’ve had them on 3 different vehicles and never seen a need to change.

    BUCKLE UP! It makes it harder for Aliens to pull you out of your Truck.
    I dunno but I really like the BFG Commercial T/A’s I’ve been using for 8 years, now or my new lightweight Mastercraft Stratus AP. Good luck out there!

    All of your listed choices are capable of dirt and fire roads. I did the following trails on Cooper ATW’s (Winter version of the AT3’s)
