Default What kind of tires is everyone running?

I'm lookin to get some new tires pretty soon. 35x12.5x20 and I was just wondering what kind of tires everyone is running and how much they cost. I'm currently looking at the Toyo Open Country and Nitto trail Grapplers. Also what's the maximum width tire could I run on these rims? I've got a 3" BL and currently running a 33x12.5x20. I would like to stay 33'' or 35''.

Right now I am running stock size (265/70R17) General Grabber HTS's. 50% life left but they came on the truck and they have no grip.

Considering Nexen Roadian A/T II, Cooper Discoverer A/T3 and Mastercraft Courser AXT.

I would pick the Cooper, we have sold quite a few of the A/T3s and they are becoming quite popular!

I'm running 285/75/16 BFGoodrich All Terrains and I'm very happy with them. They cost around $260 a tire, and from what I've read they can go for as long as 60k miles.

I'm running 235/85R16 treadwright axioms. They're great, they cut right through mud and snow, clear themselves well, and are mild enough to handle on the road nicely. Also, they only cost $89 a tire.

305/70-16 Nitto Terra Grapplers think they were around $205 a tire but that was 4 years ago
