Tire Info. for us in the 285-305 sizes please

Tyreboyz, I believe you rep tires. What is best tires for mostly street and hwy driving for these sizes? I may go to a 9'' width, so say 295/70/17.

I have run Toyo ATs. Terra Grapplers on my '05 Dodge. Both were quiet and well mannered. I want something a little more agressive.

How is Cooper? They have new LTZ out.

Thanks for ALL your help.

if your gonna go 295, just got 305/70/17, 295s are same height, but there just tall and skinny, a 305 will look much better.

if you want to save a few bucks and if your on a stock height truck i would stay with a 285 vs the 295 and 305..
i have run the Cooper ATR,ST and STT and both have been a great tire for me..my personal favorites are the Mickey Thompson ATZ and Mastercraft Courser CT..both wear great and give awesome traction year round..
