Well, this is our 3rd vehicle. I don't commute to work, so I'm looking to build this one more for offroad. I have a good budget to throw at it right away since I'm using every last penny I sold my Subaru for.

Excellent, I'd go all out with M/T's then. No need to worry about gas mileage, road noise & them wearing out to quickly.

The Hankook Dynapro MT's are the best bang for the buck IMHO.
Dynapro MT RT03 | Hankook USA

I got them in D. Would have bought C if available because I do drive it to work in bad weather. I've had them in snow, rain & all conditions offroad except real "rock crawling". Of course they do fine climbing over big rocks on a dirt trail uphill or downhill. I paid around $620 for 4 when on sale at DTD. Plus $80 local installation.
I see they come in load range C now.

:iagree:

I'm leaning towards MTs for my next set and I'm a big Hankook fan (6'2 & 205 lbs) but I think I like the Falken WP MTs a bit more - price is around the same as the Hankooks, but they both look good

Thanks for the shootout article link :thumb:

EDIT: the shootout article is the winner only, what tires was it up against back in 2011?

If that's the case get 17" rims and go with Nitto Ridge Grapplers. They're a new "hybrid". Basically all the best parts of a MT and an AT combined. Mine are quiet on the road, handle and wear very well, and tackle anything off-road that I've thrown at them with ease. They are hands down the best tire I've ever run and I've run a lot of tires.
 
MasterCraft MXT's are a personal favorite of mine as far as Mud tires go. Built by Cooper, pretty light, handle well on the road, wear well, decently quiet and very good in the mud. Weak spot is that they're not that great for icy conditions and they get pretty chunked out in gravel compared to most other MTs.

I just picked up some falken wildpeak at3w (265/75/16) at discount tire for $115 a tire. Rides great on the road, but I haven't taken them off-road yet.
 
Been following this thread with great interest given that I may be getting new tires soon.

Leaning towards the Falkens AT3Ws at this point, but I do have a question:

For a daily driver, what are the considerations for going with a size other than stock (265/75/16)? Put another way, why would/should I consider a different size?

do tell. i'm curious about these. was wondering if the weight of them compared to other tires would affect acceleration.

I have 265/75/r16 on mine, they are quiet and are good in snow and stop pretty decent on ice. As far as mud I got them in October and there was already snow, but I’m sure they are awesome. I’ve had them for just about 3000km and so far have worn really really nicely. And as far as acceleration I didn’t really notice a difference from the stock size tire. For the price they are a really good tire. Got all 5 for 900$ from my local tire shop

So I'm seeing SL and E1 rated Falkens in that size. I assume yours are E1?

I was actually considering 245/75/16 on my old '01 4runner, just about the same overall height as the 265/70/16 with it being a tiny bit skinnier and a tiny bit taller in the sidewalls. One reason for considering that size was availability in just about any brand/model of tire.
