Just purchased these DC gunmetal 7's to fit on my 4 door billet silver on its way from the factory.

Having a hard time picking tires

Going with 285/70r17

I don't want an E rated tire... Need something for everyday driving and will rarely be offroard. And by rarely I mean never
MPG are pretty important to me as we'll as being quiet

Going between
Firestone destination A/T
Bf goodrich all terrain
Toyo open country AT2
Cooper discoverer a/t3

I like the goodyear duratrac too but the price may be a little steep for me

Live in south florida wear the roads are usually wet
Ready go

I did forget about those. They look a lot more aggressive then some of the others. I like it

I just put on some 33" Toyo Open Country a/t 2's and they are E rated and other then having the E rated on the side wall you would not know it from the driver's seat. They are very quiet and smooth as can be. I was worried they might be rougher riding but they are not.

Good to know. I always wonder about E rated tires running like wooden wheels. How do they measure once installed, do they loose a lot of height

mine are listed on the Toyo site as being 32.8" and mounted with 34psi they are actually 32.2". I have not run them at any other psi so not sure how low they go when aired down.

I ran D rated Nitto Terra Grapplers for awhile. They were an awesome A/T tire. Did really good in the snow too. No road noise, and very very long tread life.

I just put on 285/70R17 Cooper Discoverer AT3s and they are very nice and quiet. I like the look of them as well. I paid $160 per tire so not too bad. I kept my stock MOAB edition rims.
