Get back to me about the fitment of those 285's after you get them installed. I want to put that size on my truck but am worried about the fit. Good luck!

Will do man! Install is tomorrow and I'm so pumped! I'll update with some pics afterwards.

I had a set of 275/55/R20 Cooper Discoverer ATPs installed on my 2010 LE yesterday and so far I couldn't be happier. To be fair, they replaced a set of new Sailun (Chinese-made) highway tires that Carmax had installed prior to my purchase a few weeks ago. They feel more firm and responsive, and they look a lot better, too. Sold the Chinese tires immediately to a guy at the local front-end shop, so my net cost was about $775 out the door, with a 3-year road hazard replacement warranty.

Better deal at Discount Tire Direct, $130.55 per tire no sales tax and no shipping plus $75 rebate and $60 rebate for using their credit card. Then go to an American or Discount Tire store for a $16/tire install. This is the best way to buy tires.
You can run a 270/65R17 Toyo AT2 SL. Great quality tire that isn't loud on the highway. Last's a long time too. I loved those on my 14' TEP

Yokohama Geolander M/T G003
Continental TerrainContact A/T
Firestone Destination M/T2
And another new one: Nokian Rockproof

Anyone running the YOKOHAMA Geolander A-T G015?
Severe winter 'snowflake' rated.
I've always had good luck with Yokohama's. Years ago I bought a used 3rd gen that came with a set of geolanders on it. I dont remember the exact model, but those things got me everywhere. A very unassuming tire that I wasn't expecting much from, but had me passing people left and right climbing up snowy mountain hill climbs.

Not sure if you're in an area of NM where you get snow, but I had my dealer put Cooper Discoverer A/Tw (stock size - LT load E) on my '16 Trail before I even took delivery. They are 10-ply, all-terrain, winter rated (snowflake on the mountain), year-round tires. I paid about $220/tire (not including mounting/balancing). I highly recommend them. They are very quiet on pavement, and are outstanding in snow and the medium off-roading that I do.
It's nice having one tire that somewhat "does it all", and all I have to do is have them rotated.

These are more aggressive than I am looking for. Any thoughts on the Geolandar A/T GO15??? These look good to me, and there are some good rebates, both instant and mail-in right now.
Thanks for the replies.
I have the Geolander A/T G015's C rated with about 5k miles so far. They strike a good balance between aggressive yet not too much like a M/T. Regularly drive 70-80mph and they handle great on road and in the rain and are just as quiet as the stock Geolanders which came with the limited. One of the main reasons I bought them is they are also winter rated and I don't have to switch out wheels. Overall very happy with both the performance and looks. I am on my way to Ouray CO and Moab UT next Friday and will be able to provide some feedback on how they perform off road.
Also tow a 4k boat and snowmobile trailer and they are very stable with weight. I have had trucks with E rated tires and towed a lot and personally don't think they make sense on this vehicle.

285/70/17 Falken Wildpeak AT3W.
So upon more driving I did notice a very slight rub on a small patch of the front mud flaps. It was nothing my trusty box cutter couldn't handle! I trimmed about a 3x4" piece out of the middle and now zero rub.

OP, I have owned several sets of the AT2 Grabbers and I liked them very much, but I ruined 2 on my last desert trip. They were P rated.
This time, I went with E rated. I was worried the ride would suffer, but it did not.
Seeing this video and ruining 2 in Joshua Tree convinced me to go E rated. I have heard the Grabber AT2 E rated are tough, but I tried the Cooper AT3 this time.

I'm running E rated 265/70R17 KO2. I originally purchased them for my Tacoma and put 9k on them before trading the Tacoma in. Part of the deal on trade in was the dealer had to swap the OEM Dungflops my KO2's as the KO2's still had nearly 14/32 tread left(new is 15/32).
The KO2's wear nice, have good traction in nasty weather, and running them at 15 PSI on forest roads really makes the ride nice. The downsides are they are not as smooth as some of the other less aggressive AT's and being E rated they are heavy and eat about 1 mpg give take.

I went with these, but I can't really say these are 'aggressive'. I've run way more aggressive toyo tires on my 3rd gen. I went with 275's, basically just one size bigger and don't regret it one bit. No rubbing at all. Honestly I would recommend at least 275's to any 4R owner buying new rubber. It looks a lot better. The only reason factory supplies 265 P's is gas mileage ratings. I think 'E' rated are a bit heavy, but they do the job quite nicely. I don't notice any road noise, if you listen to the radio at all you won't either. I think if anything my mileage dropped 1/2 mpg, but that could be because of all the other crap I did at the same time. Speedometer was effected by zero (0) zip, nada. As a matter of fact I would argue it's closer to dead on than it was with 265's. Checking it with a GPS shows no discernible difference, maybe a dyno would be more accurate but it's close enough for me.
I've got about 30k on mine and they are holding up great.

So what did you wind up with and your thoughts?

Nice to see all the Falken Wildpeak love here - since that's what I decided on a few months ago. Came down to either them or another set of Toyo Open Country, which was on it when I got it. Just over 5K on them so far and am pretty happy. Surprisingly little noise, given the aggressive-looking tread. Did cost me a little gas mileage, probably because they are softer and grippier. I have a slight shimmy at 62 mph now so it's time to have them rotated and rebalanced.
Have had them in rain (flooded roads today) and mud, all good. Also they look badass with the sidewall lugs!
