Good luck, let us know what you decide

holy crud ... you're right, and I have NO idea how they are priced that low. If going for an AT tire in that size, I would think that deal blows EVERYTHING else out the window ...

I thought I got a KILLER deal when I got my Nitto Terra Grapplers 275/65r20 for $235 each, delivered ...

That is a pretty sweet deal. In that size the AT3's jump up to 243. Something about that extra one inch

Check out cooper tires. Had some STTs on my Tahoe and lasted 47k before I traded it in. GREAT TIRE! Have some Terrible Grapplers now that have about 40% tread left and will be replacing them with the new Cooper ST Maxx tires when it's their time to go.

Ended up doing a lot of projects to my boat so had to wait a while to dot he tires on the truck. Pulled the trigger today on a set of Good Year Wrangler Adventures with Kevlar. Went with 275/60's. Got really good reviews and price wasn't outrageous. Fills up more of the wheel well and rides a lot better than the pirellis.

I had thought about the 275/65's but i was worried the truck may have to be leveled to avoid any rubbing. For my purposes i think I made a good choice but its only been one day of driving on them haha

I think everyone agrees...tires are kinda a personel preference when it comes to make, tread pattern etc. I kinda like the cooper line myself... They seem to be a little more reasonable in price also & come in a variety of tread patterns....I would suggest even if you are only doing personal type driving & weight etc. you buy a "P" metric tire with the XL rating..... (extra load rated @ max. 44lbs tire pressure)....This will give you some flexability with your load & tire pressures!!!
