I looking for new tires but im having a hard time trying to pick out the best tires.I have a set of Dick Cepek 265/70/17 Mud Countrys with 55.000 miles on them. they have been good tires but im ready to change it up and go bigger for sure.any feed back on your tires would help

Love my Toyo Open Country M/T's. The Side wall is stiff enough for our 4 door, and they have great reviews. 10 Ply sidewall thickness make them pretty much bomb proof.

A lot of people rag on these as trail/mud/snow tires, but I have BFG All-Terrain T/A KO's. I've run them on two trucks, and my Jeep and I love them. If your rig is a DD with occasional wheeling trip, then I don't think you can do better than these.

If you're looking at something that looks sick and performs well in mud and rocks, I'd look at the Toyo Open Country M/T's, or Nitto Trail Grapplers. I've also heard some good things about the new General Grabbers https://www.tirebuyer.com/tirepreviews/general_grabber_rl_1000x1000.jpg.

Here is a shot of them on a JK.

That's three to chew on. Good luck in your choice.

I recently went with the Cooper Discover STT's in a 35". They have the same contact pattern as the Toyo's but on the Cooper website and out on some of the other forums, sense they are supposed to be truck tires (F-250, 2500+ range), guys with jeeps that have run them have claimed to get as much as 75k out of them. True or not I don't know, but they are aggressive and certainly durable.

I had a set of the Toyo open country m/t's on my 2003 Ram 3500 dually 4X4 and had about 50,000 on them and pulled alot they are 10ply tires and take some getting use to when you goto move over they move no side wall sway and are very good in mud and sand that we have down here in south Bexar Co. we pulled a 26' dove tail trailer with Lil David's race car on it every other weekend for three years and they also work rear well on wet boat ramps. Nedless to say I loved mine

I'm running Firestone Destination M/Ts in the 315/70r17 flavor. I got a great price on them and they have 20k miles with more than 50% tread left. I have no complaints. They are pretty decent in rain for an MT and not too loud.

Toyo everytime! I use to run BFG's all the time and switched to Toyo M/T and have not look back since. I love them, quiet on the asphalt and tough on the rocks. With the 10ply the are strong enough

I'm a fan of The Nitto terra and mud grapplers. I've run both of them and currently have 40,000 on my mud grapplers and they are just now getting close to being worn out... btw, thats almost all interstate and hughway miles ~70mph for 5-7 hours at a time.

I have Cooper STT and I'm not too happy bout them and how they are "chunking" off lugs. They do grab very well on rocks, but get torn up too easy. Love 'em but I hate 'em!

Hmmm, this is the first time I have heard anything bad about the Coopers, and the tire dealer told me that they were a hard rubber??? If I discover I have been lied too I will probably be pretty pissed.

i have two 265/70-17 BFG AT with low miles was going to run them but i am going a deferent direction i wanted a mud and sand tire if your interested let me know i am selling them

thanks for the feedback im still stuck in between km2s,toyo or just getting another set of dick cepek mt

The Toyo open country were looking pretty damn good until I found that they weigh 83lbs each (WTF?). That's about 6lbs heavier than the heaviest 35 I had found so far....for a dedicated trail truck I wouldn't care but for a DD that's gonna suck and there's no way it won't affect performance.

Toyo Specs
http://marktg.toyotires.com/file/18136.pdf

General Grabber 77.6lbs
Kumho Road Venture are 75lbs
BFG KM2 is 68 lbs
GY Wrangler MT/R are 64lbs
Yoko Geolander are 61lbs

All of these weights are for 35R12.5 17

I was helping someone look for tires and I was surprised to find out how well the Hankook MT's fared in a recent test.

Marcus at RCO has been doing some heavy tire research lately as he's ready to replace his shoes. He looked very hard at the Hankooks but I think they have a slight backorder of a few weeks.

A lot of the 35x17s are backordered....pickins are slim!

For daily driver duty I don't think there is a better behaved tire than the BF Goodrich All-Terrain T/A KO. The 315/70R17 is a 35" class tire that ways 64 lbs. Mine are no noisier than the stock duelers they replaced.

I know it's not the most bad-a$$ looking tire, and people bash it for not being an M/T, but I've run these on two trucks and my Jeep and love it. They last forever too. The set I ran on my 98 Ram had 40k on them and half their tread left when I traded it.
