    Nitto terra grabbers or hancook a/t 265/75r16s. Im at the tire place and checking them out but have a real good deal on either one..I like the nittos but theyre 8ply so might stiffen the ride.

    8 ply will last longer, but 6 will ride better, your choice, I am using the Cooper Discoverer AT3 in 6 ply, P265R7516

    I am currently running the Hankook DynaPro AT/M RF10's
    in 265/70/16.

    I love them.

    The 8 ply is going to weigh more and that transfer in MPG lose.
    I don't trail ride so I didn't feel the need for 8 ply.
    Nor do I tow extremely heavy load to need 8 ply.

    Your driving habits and use will help determine the ideal tires (i.e. comfort vs longevity etc)

    Between 6 and 8, you probably won't notice that big of a difference. Thereal ddifference is the weight of the tires. You will notice it when you drive around the first few miles.
