Looked into the fierce Mt, liked it a lot, but it comes in a 285/70R17 then a 35x12.5R17... I'm looking for a size in between.

Really looking at these Toyo AT II. They are a lot better than the originals and the Xtreme have deeper tread and a more aggressive sidewall. Thoughts?Name:  user91414_pic188523_1357854078_zps80e690b4.jpg

check out BF Goodrich at ta ko. thats what i have, they are great. thick tread, side wall, great in the snow and mud. road noise is good too, much quieter than i expected. they are pricey though. well worth the money for a 70,000 mile warranty.

I had these on my Dakota for two years and I liked them, they are a pretty good all around tire, but they don't have the size I want. Either a little too small, or a little too big. That and I found that my rear end liked to break loose on wet pavment with these after I got down to <60% tread

I think I'm sold on these Toyos 65k warranty, cheaper than Duratracs, come in a 285/75R17, and they are pretty aggressive and should do well in the terrains I tackle in my rig. Here is some side by sides for your viewing pleasureName:  IMAG0570_zpsc7c7de03.jpg

Well guys, finally getting some new rubber on my truck. Oddly enough I went with a completely different tire. Getting the General Grabber AT2. They have great reviews on all the terrains I need them to be good on and they were on sale this weekend! Getting them mounted, balanced, with replacement warranty and 50k mile warranty for $940! They will be here Tue-Thu! Here's what they look like. I'll post pics once they're on my rig too!
