NoSparkplugs

Ok so eventually this year, before winter rolls around I plan on buying some Toyo open country M/Ts since I do a fair bit of offroading in the winter (logging roads, frozen lakes, hunting areas etc, etc). I plan on buying my cousin's 3rd gen alloy rims from him and getting the tires to match as well. I have some questions though:

1) For the most part, I've read/heard that these tires get decent mileage out of them. For those who have or had these tires, how many miles/KMs did you get out of them?

2) Load range, I haul roughly 2000# of gear during the winter at times and I need a E range tire, I'm hoping that these are up to snuff?

3) Where did you guys get them and how much did you guys pay?

4) What sizes would you recommend? I'm running 235/85R16 right now and they are pizza cutters. I'm looking for something bigger maybe 275 or 285s? I want to stay within the safe range with no rubbing and not making my speedo insanely out of whack .

Thanks guys
