There's only 2 options that are E rated (I think) but they're not on your list, Toyo MT and Interco Vortracs.

I'm not that worried about them being E rated. I do not haul.

In my area, Discount Tire offers a 50k mile tread wear warranty on Hankooks.
They also offered them on the Terra Crapplers that I had last. My Nitto's lasted 18k with no abuse, and I paid $400 with warranty credit for my new Hankooks. My vote is for whichever one has warranty.

Okay, if I could change my vote I'd try the Pro Comp XAT's then, they were my 2nd pick when I bought mine a little while ago, lotsa people say good things.

Im getting some new Toyos tomorrow. I have talked to a few tires shops around here and they all say Toyos are one of the best all around tires out there. BFG ATs if you want a little better snow tire.

I am runnning Hankook Dynapro AT's (285's) right now and I'm really happy with them . I've got about 10K on them and they really don't look like they've lost much tread. They are wearing MUCH better than the BFG AT's and Toyo MT's I've had in the past. They are LR E as well...

Toyo Open Country M/T's.... I run 35/12.50/20's and they balance and ride smoother than any other M/T's I've ever owned.... I love these tires!

I replaced my tires with 265/70R17 Hankook DynaPro ATM RF10's and have been very happy with them. They were cheaper than many choices, mine are made in Korea and are E load rated...

I have about 6k on my Nitto's and have had no problems with them at all, I do not haul but they still look new. The trick I was told with the Nitto's is you HAVE to rotate them every 5k, other wise you have problems. Mine are road forced balanced (no weights) there not much louder than my stockers and they handle good in the rain.

Since the "others" have it, can we add additional brands?

I'm not an off-roader so I use Firestone Highway 10 ply on my '03 dually. I get a good ride and great tire mileage even towing. I usually get around 70 to 80K miles. I rotate and keep them inflated. Tried General's and they don't hold up. It came with Goodyear which were great but too expensive. Firestone works out well.
