285/70/17 tires again
Don't want an E rated tire, have BFG Rugged Terrain P285/70/17 now and they've been good, but at 50K they're pretty worn, mostly HWY driving but want a semi-aggressive look because I have a leveling kit.
Should I go back with P rated BFG Rugged Terrains or:
Bridgestone Revos (P)
Firestone AT (P)
Michelin A/T or M/S (D range)
Had BFG A/T and have had LT tires on other trucks and just prefer the smoother quiet ride of P tires. Don't tow heavy stuff or do hard core off roading, but do want the 'look' (older now)
Like white letters with a blue/chrome truck. Haven't priced any of them yet, but about to start.
Mainly looking for a good handling, good looking tire (4x4 with leveling kit) that wears well.

I don't do any off roading but I do have a 30KM gravel road to the cabin. All the P rated tires I have had get flats on a nicely grated gravel road. The LT tires seem to hold up a lot better. I'd look for a LT tire for sure.
My current set of tires is Nitto Terra Grapplers (10 ply, E rated) and I've gotten 110,000 KM out of them. Very good mileage in my opinion. But they are expensive. I'm also in the market for so I will subscribe. Although I am looking for a E rated tire as I have a 1,100 pound camper that I put in the back a couple times a year.

Have them on my truck.
Be sure to program the truck so the shift points for the transmission are on point. Easiest way is with a tuner!

Nitto Terra Grapplers come in some pretty big sizes, that are still 'P', not 'LT'. I think maybe the Goodyear Wrangler Duratrac also.
Both are excellent tires, although a bit pricy.
