    Hello all

    I have a 2018 TRD ORP.
    Currently at 185,000

    The last two sets of tires have been 285/70/17 Ridge Grappler.

    I've gotten roughly 60k on each but living in Oklahoma I've found the wet traction is less than awesome.

    I basically do highway but I hunt all fall and into winter up in Kansas so definitely need an all terrain for gravel and dirt and a bit of occasional mud.

    Also I pull a dual jet ski trailer, not a huge deal.

    So I've decided to look at moving away from the Nitto

    Looking at Mickey Thompson Baja Boss and the new Cooper Stronghold AT.

    The cooper's are brand new and very little info.

    Any thoughts or suggestions? What load rating?

    Thanks in advance

    Oooh look, another mod.....
    ^^ I second this. Since you won't do any hard wheeling, no need for a load rating above C.

    Falken's or MT Boss's are your best bet.

    SL is fine for your use case. Some SL tires have a higher load capacity than Cs.

    I'm a big fan of the General Grabber ATX. I have 65k and counting on mine, plenty of useable tread left. Great in snow and rain.

    As far as I can tell, the Cooper is only available in load range E in that size. I'd go with SL's if you're not going to be doing any serious off-roading.
