285x75x17 Tire Options
From reading several post it seems the general consensus is that if you want a tire that fills the fender well then 285x75x17 is the way to go.
It looks like Toyo, BFG, Nitro make this size, who did I miss?
Once we get the different options identified we can run a poll to determine which one everyone like the best

In a 285/75 there is Toyo and then there are all the rest. Just two categories.
If you want a high quality, very round and easily balanced tire, that is also very heavy duty, it's gotta be a Toyo.
There is definately more reason to pick a size than whether or not it fills the wheel well. If you go to a 70 series there are more choices than in the 75 series. More, that is, in the "all the rest" category. If you only care about snow traction, and none of the other features mentioned, BFG might be better. But they come with a lot of negatives.
