I had some pathfinder tires on my truck. They got recalled. Replaced with GT radials. LT265/75-16. Nice aggressive tread. Low noise. I only drive my truck 2-3000 miles a year. Should last awhile.

Personally, I try not to buy Chinese or Korean but a couple guys in my hunting club have them. Price is attractive, they are a real bargain basement tire. Guys I know personally say they perform well off road, fair on pavement but loud. Kinda wear quick on pavement.

Online reviews are fairly positive with pretty much the only gripe being longevity. Working on a tight budget or if you don't plan on owning the truck very long, they could be a decent choice...

As for ordering, Amazon Prime is your friend. Our last few sets of tires have come from there. One set shipped to Germany via APO, and my most recent set of Coopers came to Hawaii... both free shipping. I don't know if they/retailers will ship anything over 35" for free, though. Lots of Jeepers I know buy from there with 33" and 35" tires, but I recall conversations of having trouble finding free shipping for 35".

I had Nitto Terra Grapplers on my Grand Cherokee. Good AT tire, really nice on hard packed trails and probably the best wet pavement tire I've ever owned. Only negative is it isn't very good in mud as it cakes up pretty quick. They wear a little quicker than a Mickey or Cepek but still much better than average and a good bit quieter. Unless you plan on muddin' it's a good choice...
