I know they're not the ultimate all terrain your seeking but with over 400k on 4 sets of Michelin LTX M/S's (on different vehicles). I cant speak enough of these tires. They're quiet, ride awesome, great in rain, snow and mud, and they LAST FOREVER! I got 265's in 10ply on the truck 3 months ago over a set of 245's and mileage stayed @ 22HWY. Just my 2 cents!
P.S.-check out tirerack.com they're local to me and the prices are better than anyone local.

Dont argue with a moron in public....Others may be confused on whos who.
a 285-75R16 LR E 10PLY is going to limit your options but IMO and in the past the BFG's are great wearing tires along with the Coopers,Bridgestones and Michelins but the Michelins probalily wont be rough enough..

I just bought some Nitto terra grapplers and am happy with them so far! The Bridgeston dueller revo's, coopers, and toyo's are all great tires to! The Coopers and bridgestone's are the tires that wear the best IMO. But there both really pricey.
Im not 100% sure but I dont think you can find a 285 in a 10 ply load range E. I agree they do look great on the dmax. I had 285's and they wore out so I bought 265's. I missed the look of the 285 so I sold the 265 for the 285
The only downfall is you'll loose MPG's with the bigger heaviar tire!

Shafer, I've heard and seen some pretty bad things with the yokahoma's. My best bud got em the same time I got my bridgestones, he's put a little less miles on his truck about 30k compared to my 40k and they're completley SHOT!! every set I see on a truck they're always bald. But thats just my experience, could be wrong.

I honestly can't remember what mine are off the top of my head. I don't think they're 10 ply. But I imagine you can get em in 10 ply, duno though you'd hafta check. I can't praise em enough though, great tire!! I'll buy another set if these ever wear out. Practically impossible to hydroplane with em.
love BFG A/T's but have switched to the Toyo Open Country A/T's. I worked at off-road shops for a while and the Toyo A/T's balanced out with little to no weight and wore even.
