Not so much recommendations. I need some help narrowing down between two tires in 31x10.5r15. These are the two I've selected, now I just ned help figuring out whether an AT or MT would be better for my needs. We hardly get much rain or snow here so our roads stay mostly dry, and my jeep sees 300 miles/month, maybe 400.
I wasn't planning on getting an MT, but I found some Cooper Evolution MTs for $130 a piece. Between that and a 5% discount, I can get a set of five for less than $700 shipped. I know that they wear quicker and are typically noisier, but again, this isn't a DD. I know Cooper has a great reputation for tires too. Tires are load range C, and measure 30.6" with a 19/32" tread depth.
On the other hand, I can get a set of five Toyo Open Country AT3 tires for $60 more. They have a very aggressive tread pattern and are probably quieter than MTs, and are also a couple pounds lighter each. I've heard good things about Toyo, but not enough to know if they're as good as the bigger names like Falken, Cooper, BFG, or Goodyear. Load range C, and measure 30.7" with a 16/32" tread depth.
Help a guy spend his money?
