Aloha,

I've got a stock '08 quad cab 4x4. The original tires are done and its time to upgrade a little. I'm looking at P265/75 R20s in the following makes

Goodyear Duratracs
MT Baja ATZ
**** Cepek Fun Country
Nitto Terra Grappler

I'm in Hawaii and don't get into the mud too often. I do more driving on sand and rocks...and of course the highway. There is a fair amount of rain (I'm on the windward side if you know the islands) and even more potholes.

Any recommendations to pick one tire over another.
-The **** Cepek Fun Countrys are new in 2013, replaced the FC II, so I can't find much on them. The company is proud of them of course.
-Heard lots of good stuff about the ATZ but they are supposed to cost more. I found some for about the same price as the other tires. Am I missing something?
-I'm leaning to the Duratracs, heard good things and its easier to find a Goodyear dealer out here.

Lastly, I think I can run these (p275/65r20) on my stock Ram but am prepared to put on a leveling kit if need be. Any thoughts? Lots of kits out there, hard to sort through all the info....

Any help is appreciated,
Jeff

I bought some kumho all terrains, 315/70r17. They are great looking tires and have had 0 problems thus far. In fact i have some kumhos on my mustang as well, and no problems there either. Good tread wear

I have no personal experience with any of the tires you are looking at but 2 of my buddies are running the duratracs and absolutely love them....if they weren't so much, they be my next tire

Another +1 on Terra Grappler. One of the best all around tires out there.
