What Exactly are you looking for in a tire? If you don't need a pure on-road performance tire like the Hankooks, I will +1 the Cooper Zeons. They are available in the correct factory size, or you can even get a 34" if you so choose, and they will offer you decent ability off-pavement as well (think dirt roads more than off-road mudding).

I am a big fan of BF Goodrich All-Terrain T/A's. You can get them in 275/65R20 or 285/55R20. I had them on my last truck and ran them 5 years through both summer and winter putting about 90,000km's on them and they were awesome. They're a little pricy, but the capability to do a little off-road action while still having a super smooth and silent ride is worth it. Not sure on your application, but that's my vote.

I got a good buddy with a set of BFG A/Ts on his Jeep Wrangler, 18k miles and they are slicks! He'll never make the mistake again, I can guarantee you that.
I know they sell a lot of them and they are a popular tire, but then again, so is a Flowmaster muffler and it's a POS too. I wonder what tire manufacturer spends the most on advertising? I wonder what muffler manufacturer spends the most on advertising. Hmmmmm...
That's my opinion anyway and I'm sticking to it, LOL...

I dunno what a KM is but if 90,000 of them are more than 20,000 miles you done real good. I've owned two sets and neither one saw more'n 20k miles. Bad, uneven wear and cupping issues from hell from both sets on two different trucks. Only two brand/models of tires I ever had a real issue with were the two sets of BFG A/Ts I owned and a set of Goodyear Wranglers out of numerous sets of tires on the seven full size 4x4s I've owned over the years.

Damn, I must have bought a good set because mine lasted 56,000miles (converted it from KM's to be nice to ya Hammer). And even when I was about to replace them they still could have made it through another summer, but the tread was too far gone to give me much traction for the winter season. Loved them, but I guess just like anything different people have different experiences.
I had bad luck with two sets and that was enough for me.
But regardless, IMO there are tires out there that cost a good bit less that are at least as good if not better than BFGs. To me, if I'm gonna pay BFG prices, I'd rather get a Mickey Thompson or Dick Cepek tire and have an undisputed top tier tire for that kinda money. I've gotten 68,000 miles on a set of Mickey's and they'd go places a BFG has no business being.
My current Cepeks are now at 32,000 miles and maybe have 10% treadwear on them and they aren't any more money than a comparable BFG M/T radial.
But tires are the single hardest thing to decide on because for every great review on any tire, you'll read a **** poor one next...
