    Time to replace my tires. My last two sets were Nitto Trail Grapplers and they have been great. I just want something different. I've narrowed my tire selection down to these 3 options. Which would you recommend?

    Suppose it depends what you're looking to do with it. Appears you are settled on mud terrains only? FYI your last screenshot of the Cooper STT is a different size than the other two, not sure if that matters for availability.

    Why do you want super aggressive, noisy mud terrain’s? Do you actually use them or need them? How often do you go off roading and mudding? If you really use them then any of the 3 should be fine. Or as said by 23MGM , Superswampers are always the answer.

    I replaced these with Cooper Discoverer AT3 4S in slightly larger 265 70R 17 and cannot believe the difference in all around exceptional performance. I am off on speedo by about +1.5 to 2 mph from actual GPS speed. Not sure about recalibration though. No rub whatsoever. OEM original wheels.

    What are you trying to do? Do you off-road frequently or find yourself axle deep in mud on the regular; what is your normal use case?
    If you want them for the look, then, again, any will do. If you off-road only occasionally or are not a rock crawling, a milder tire with a wider range of capacity will probably suit you better.
    I've used Nokian tires for 10 years on all of my vehicles, and the nATs on my Dad's Jeep and my Tacoma. They work fantastically for pretty much every terrain I have encountered in both vehicles. Slush, unmaintained access roads, 8" deep mud over clay, asphalt (slightly noisy at higher speeds), dirt roads, the works. If you live in the south, I wouldn't recommend them; they are decidedly a cooler environment tire. High speed driving at 100F is not going to work well for tread life with these tires.
    But, let us know, what do you expect to do with these? Give us some more data to help us make an informed suggestion.

    The OP hasn’t come back to this thread since when he first posted it. Appears it wasn’t a serious question. Guess he doesn’t care.

    Maybe he ended up being bombarded by hail and lost his power for a week. :)

    Longevity with that tread depth, superior traction, siping for wet conditions. A lot of fluff out there with the up and comers like Michelin and Bridgestone.. Can't be too careful.

    Touche... Some could consider a bogger more of a hybrid tire better suited on a Sienna or Highlander. OP will probably clarify his intentions. Too many variables.

    None of the above. Michelin Defenders instead, you won’t regret it…
