I got the same size in the Nittos terras last year. I use them as my winter tires on a old set of Ram 17s and save the OEM 20s for the summer. I like them alot.
I did lose some MPGs. They make the truck drive and handle like a truck, sing just a little but I like the road noise. Haven't got stuck or slipped yet.
Discount tire direct stocks them in passenger and LTs.

I think you're gonna be happy with them. I put a set on my Grand Cherokee (daily driver) about two years or so ago and so far I'm very pleased. Very quiet, very good road manners, they stick to wet pavement like velcro.
Not bad off-road either. Great trail tire and I've gotten to where I camp out of my Jeep instead of my truck. Surprisingly good in mud too as long as you don't get in any deep stuff, heavy mud tends to cake up on them pretty quick, but after all, they are an all-terrain and not a mud tire.

I found them online around $200 a piece for the same size and this thread mad me want them i was gonna get some wanglers but i want a lil less noise and i own a Hemi so i want some good traction tires on the road bc i like to go fast!!! I have Nexen Roadian H/T on there now. Cam with the truck. Haven't got to really test them yet to see if they are worth a crap.

I know they are a little smaller, but the 265/65/17 Terra Grapplers on my Jeep were $127.50 a piece, came to just over $600 after mounting, balancing and tax. Local chain tire store matched the best price I found online. I originally wanted Mickey Thompson ATZs but couldn't find them in that size for under $200 a pop...

This is just my opinion, thats still too much money to spend for snow tires.
Tire dealer i stopped at today has simular type & style for $120 each out the door. (mount & balance & tax incl.)
I`ll prolly just buy the $120 dollar ones, as i`m not running them year round. (only need them for 3 to 4 months max)
(i also have some stock 17" steel wheels to put them on + this saves my 20" chromies for summer)
Reason i wanna go cheap on snow tires, i would much rather spend money on nice summer skins instead.

I have a buddy who I've been in the same hunting club with since the mid '90s up in Georgia who owns a pair of auto repair/tire shops and I've gotten all my tires from him for the past dozen years or so, but at the time I was stuck in Florida as my mom was on chemo and wasn't patient enough to wait to get up there after I put a mild lift on the jeep.
They had no problem matching the best price I found online, didn't stock Nitto, but had them from the warehouse the next day...

Not sure i like the fact that they arent on the truck right.(???)
Meening, the tread is falling in the same direction on all 4 tires.
I would think the truck would do better if one side was opposite of the other with the tread pattern.
For those of you that have these tires, what kind of miles are you getting out of them (?)
And how much MPG do you think you lost after you installed them (?)
I DO like the look of the tread, not aggressive, but looks like enough.

I agree budd, they ARE effin sweet, gonna do mine soon too.
Let me know how the reverse lights turn out, i`d like to do mine too.
As for the terra`a, i cant find a dealer in my area here so that i can go look at them.
They look really nice and probably would be plenty enough tire for me as well.
I`m bettin they`re gonna cost me 2 arms and 2 legs though. (eeeeek`s...!!!!)
Sure would like to know how soft the compound is, they gotta last me for awhile.
