    This is what I'm running. Just as smooth and quiet as my stock Dunlops were and light weight. At least in 265 70 16.

    I have the terra tracc AT (LT 245 75 16 in a C load; i know the truck will take P245 but I wanted a stronger sidewall and deeper tread.

    MPG has been fine, no extra noise and way better traction than the stock dunlops. I have about 17,000 mixed miles and look pretty much brand new.

    I cant say anything from frist hand experience. But from what ive read the toyo m55 is a pretty efficient yet aggresive tire. And it comes in the mpg sipping 255/85 size that so many have rallied behind. Its trchnically a commercial tire, so long lasting 10ply rubber but no flashy sidewall lugs.

    this. i went up a size to a 265/75R16 from a 265/70R16. i MAY have lost 1MPG but i’m not even sure about that.

    Great looking but cost an arm & a leg here in Canada (about $290 before install!). Wish they could be cheaper here :(

    Michlin ltx at2. They are the money. Decent off road tread, great mileage and long lasting. Pricey but you get what you pay for. I had the nitto terra grapplers before and i really liked them. Only lasted twenty k miles

    I have sigma wild spirits and those are pretty quiet and do great in winter, just not so great in mud. I just want new ones because i want 33's in a mud terrain.
