what tires are you runing on your 3rd gen?

I have 265/75/16 Kuhmo Road Venture AT on stock suspension and 16x8 wheels. I'm not sure the exact ones. I needed some cheap tires before my trip to Colorado last year. Wound up being a great tire for the money. They're rated fairly highly on tirerack too.

I run Wrangler Duratracs 285/70/17. I've had them for a year and I've driven them in every condition you can think of: Mud, dirt, snow, sand, rain, etc, and they kick ass in all of them. I think that the road noise they produce is considerably less then MTR's but still there a little bit. I got mine for $200 a piece, but that was with a homie hookup. I think that they usually run around $250-300 a piece.
The reason I chose the duratracs over the Cooper STT's was because I drive to the mountain a lot and these tires are snow rated (they have the little snow flake on them) so I don't have to carry any extra traction devises (i.e. chains) when heading to the mountain. Around here you get pulled over with out them when they are required going through the mountain and the cops will make you turn around and head back.

255/85/16 KM2's, OME heavy front, medium rear. Won't clear chains in the front or at highway speed in the rear

The 265/75/16 KM's are Load Range D, better behaved at 30 PSI than the 255's, but not a harsh ride at 45 psi.

Hankook Dynapro MT, 285x75x16. Got them through work at $195 a piece (back in November '09). They've gone up about $20-30 a piece now though, I got my matching spare a few months ago and it was around $220. Very nice tires though, my first mud terrain ones, they've worked great in the mud and snow so far, aren't too loud on the highway either! Here are a few pictures from me,

Kumhio Road Venture M/T 265/75/16. Great all around, had them for about 20k and still have plenty of tread. Whatever you decide just remember to rotate periodically. I go every 3 months.

Firestone destination A/T's. I bought them exactly a year ago and have put ~10k miles on them so far and they still look brand new. I've driven them through all extreme conditions including very hot summers to deep snow and they have never let me down. They ride excellent and they are quiet!! I paid ~$130 a tire. The reviews on tirerack don't lie, they are rated very highly. They are the best A/T for the money IMO.

I'm running 285/75/16 Bfg km2s and I love them only put about 300 miles on them so far. Haven't gotten a chance to use them off-road but in snow they grip really well. I got mine for $190 each from where I work and mounted and balanced them myself so I saved a ton.

I'm running a set of Nitto TGs, size 265/75/16 and I'm only 1k miles shy of putting 60K miles on them. Best part is, I only paid $113.00 ea for them when I purchased them online. They've been great on and off road since day one. I hope to get another 5k out of them and then I'll buy something else. The TGs have gone up in price since I bought mine a few years ago, so I figure, why not try another brand instead.
