dodgezilla04,

Those are nice looking meats! How many miles do you have on them and how are they wearing? Quiet?

they are quieter than i thought they would be. wearing well after 3k miles. they are great in the sand and snow. throw mud everywhere. i have had 5k#'s in the bed, at 70 psi and no trouble. i love them. and thanks

 

I also have E rated Terra Grapplers in 285/70/17e. I like them so far.

 

The stock michelins were probably the worst tire ever except for dry road, I switched to Cooper Discoverer M+S LT265 70 17E. Great snow and ice tire, tons of sips for really good slippery traction. But it is a soft rubber compound so expect about 30k from them. For me though they are the best for plowing. I have 900lbs hanging out front and 2000 lbs of salt in the back. They also did well driving in the sands of the OuterBanx NC.

 

Are those S/T's, S/T-C's or STT's?

 

Doesn't BFG make an E-rated AT in 33"? A 305 or something like that?

 

sure do pauly 305 65 17 only 1 tenth of an inch taller than the 285 70 but a lot wider

you still have my rims?

 

None of the above, these are the M+S's strickly snows but I ended up using them year round. They are good for pulling bush stumps out too Just don't put the truck in 4-low when sitting on hot asphalt to pull a particularly stubborn stump out --oops, dug to china before I knew what was happening.

 

I just had a set of 285/70R-17 Toyo open country A/T's mounted last weekend, I think they look just right on a stock truck. They are very quite and so far handle very well in dry and wet conditions.

I got mine at http://www.tiredeals4less.com and they are 10Pr 126s load rated (80 psi 3750lbs).

I was in the same boat as you, I didn't want a mud tire, but I wanted something a little more than a passenger car tread pattern and these seemed to be just right.

Good luck.
