    Excellent! Think the Toyo's it is. They also have a 65k warranty.

    These also have great reviews, looks great, and have a good price. I can get a set of these on Discount's eBay site for $532.

    How quiet are those Falken's?

    Nice! They do look bad ass from the pictures I've seen on them. The Toyo Open Country looks sweet too, but those Falkens looks pretty evil. I just need to pull the trigger and be done with researching this. I have brand new rims sitting in my garage waiting to be used.

    I like the Falkens, but the LT's are E load only and like 55lbs, P-loads while looking good, do they really have the durability to match their looks?

    Who makes a C-load LT 265/75r16 with any sidewall protection? Or is that an oxymoron?

    I have General Grabber AT2s. I've been pretty happy with them, but I'm not climbing mountains or anything.

    Agreed! I guess it just depends on what you're looking for... This is my DD so 95% of my driving is on smooth paved roads. The other 5% is the occasional weekend trail or a camping trip out here in NM once or twice a year. Cant really justify the 10+ pound difference per tire and the hit to my MPG's to have an E Load tire I only put to good use twice a year...

    I'm in the exact same boat. BRM shows scratches way too easily to do anything crazy with the truck for a few more years and it's my daily driver for a while yet as well. The Yokahama G015 is one of the lighter E'loads I've found, but still 3-4lbs each more than the C-load Cooper AT3. The Yoka' has a bit more sidewall tread design that might help a tad rubbing up against a rock, but still not near as much as some of the others.

    Guess I should have mentioned I'll be off roading, but not at the level a lot of you guys are. Mostly just fire roads and two track. No crawling or anything. So, I don't need any heavy duty tires. Something good both on an off pavement. Being lighter is probably better than worse in my case.

    I keep spending all my money on parts and ignoring tires. Hard to pass up on deals when I see them though. Only thing I have left after I get my wheels set up, is suspension and all I want to do is level the truck and install 5100s front and rear.

    Going to look at the Falcons today myself. The trails and roads in Michigan don't have a lot of sharp rocks mostly gravel. Still torn between the Falken Wildpeak AT3 and the mastercraft courser mxt. Mostly same price but 2 types of tire.

    I have a set of hankook dynapro atm I'm selling with less than 10k just because of new rim size. They worked pretty good in snow and seem ok for what little offroading I have done. They still look brand new and not to heavy on the wallet.
