Winter use or no snow n ice?
If a no snow vehicle, can’t beat Toyo RT or Nitto Ridge Grapplers for tread life IMO (unless you get some of the Michelins folks seem to get 100K miles out of…)
Have a set of 37” Toyo RTs that I’m as impressed with treadlife as I’m unimpressed with snow performance. They were on the truck when we bought it and fairly new. Now at 50k miles and even though I had to correct some early overinflation treadwear, they are still at idk prolly 7-8/32.
If All terrain is what you’re looking for, Nitto Terra Grapplers are tops on my list. Followed closely by Toyo ATIII and cooper AT3. Both are a bit quieter than the Terra Graps.
But the reality is tires are expensive as heck, and any good brand name will be just as durable as the next and most all will get decent treadlife for their type.
Compare 275/65 and 285/60 when looking. Similar enough in size and capacity and you may find a better price if not limiting to only one size. Although a few years ago, the 275s were across the board a little cheaper than 285/60s apples to apples.
