    My stock Michelin LTX A/T2s are only at about 25k miles, but I missed one rotation and it drove one single tire down to the point where it's about to fail the penny test. I've rotated since, but considering getting some new tires as we get into winter here.

    The vast majority of my driving is on-road, highways, local roads, dirt/gravel roads, etc.. Farm fields, farm roads, and driving on hilly areas just in the grass is pretty common. I'm in western PA; our winters here have been pretty tame in recent years, but they aren't always and performance in snow is a priority. Performance in mud would be good, but that more goes along with driving around the property in wet, muddy conditions, not hitting mudholes on trails. I rarely get on trails. I tow here and there; the heaviest I will semi frequently tow is around 6000#, but not that far and not that often. Primarily I'm only towing anything above say 2000# in the summer and fall months. If I go on a long trip, I'm usually taking the Tundra so something quiet-ish that is smooth on the highway would be nice too.

    I have the stock TRD O/R wheels.

    What do you guys think?

    Thanks

    Ditto on the cooper XLTs, and you can run 275/70-18 on a stock truck, no issues. They are 33inchers and E load, 3 peak rated. If you want to keep stock size tires there are plenty of good options out there, including the coopers. Michelin Defenders are nice and better than the LTX AT you have as far a ride comfort, they last a long time and are actually decent off road and in snow....not meant for any deep mud however.

    Take a look at the wheel and tire forum here- so many pictures and reviews of different tires, sizes, etc it will give you lots of info and ideas.

    Oh, and you are not alone, got my truck used with 32k miles and the stock Michelin ATs were super worn at that low mileage, needed to be replaced before winter.
