Help me choose...

I've got my new tire selection down to 4 choices and would like some opinions on which I should pick, and why.

My truck is a 2014 Reg Cab 4x4 with the automatic transmission. It will have 2.50-2.75" of lift and a LCE header on the 2.7 I don't tow much of anything, but this is my daily driver. I don't go offroad looking for trouble spots, but I do hunt in some pretty nasty places.

Based on the truck and uses, help me decide...

First, Mastercraft Courser MXT
LT265/75-16 E-rated 31.70" diameter, 10.10" width, 50lbs
OR
LT285/75-16 E-rated 32.80" diameter, 11.30" width, 57lbs

Second, Kelly Safari TSR
LT265/75-16 C-rated 31.70" diameter, 10.50" width, 43.6lbs
OR
LT285/75-16 E-rated 33.10" diameter, 11.30" width, 54.6lbs

Thanks for any thoughts.

 

Really like those Mastercrafts. They look aggressive as hell, and that deep tread can get you out of some sticky situations on hunts. Do you drive on the highway a lot? the Mastercrafts would be louder than the Kelly Safari's, if that matters to you

 

I like the Mastercrafts better and I would go with 285's for sure!!

 

Nobody else??

 

The 285's will look great but they will chew on your engine's torque.

Don't think I would like the skinnys.
