    I have 25,000 miles on a 2013 Tacoma 4x4 access cab. Soon I will be driving it on rough unimproved ranch roads and need to replace the factory tires. The originals are Dunlop AT20 P245/75R16 and I have no complaints--good gas mileage and relatively quiet. I don't need a snow or mud tire but one that won't suffer sidewall damage on rough roads assuming reasonable driving care. I would still like good mileage and a quiet highway ride as most of my driving is freeway. A local shop has recommended Michelin LTXA/T2, same size, at $220 each which seems a bit pricey and maybe better for snow? Any thoughts on what I should get?

    Thanks for the help.
