    I’d go with the 265 for DD for sure, but that’s just me. I ran the AT3w on my ‘17, but plan to try the Dick Cepek Trail EXP on the new truck. Curious to hear more on this tire as it’s only 50 lbs in 10 ply and strikingly resembles the Cooper ST Maxx.

    I've used the the Cepek Fun Country, Mud country, and now Extreme Country and have nothing but great things to say on all of them!

    I went from 265/70/17 to stock 265/70/16. Went from Dynapros to Michelin defenders.

    Noticeable, but I don’t care. I’m officially ok with being “practical.”
