Great responses guys, which combo would have the lowest cost of ownership, say over 15 years? I seem to go thru 18" tires pretty quick and wondering how long the 19.5's would typically last as they are twice the price of what i normally run which are Cooper AT3's, Toyo Open Country, etc.type tires. While we are at it, what 19.5 tires do you guys recommend? I do drive on Forest service roads quite a bit and snow and ice on multiple occasions.
Well the tires really aren't that expensive if you shop. Cooper Roadmaster RM253 in the G load range are M+S nice lug design and in the 245/70R19.5 are only $279/tire at Simple tire or Walmart rated at 4600 per tire
