Thanks for all the responses everyone! Crazy how much knowledge and experience everyone has here. I think I'm settling into the idea of the Cooper AT3. I like the idea of a beefier tire but in reality most of my driving is on pavement and the AT3 seems to be the best of all worlds. Planning on going with the 6 ply tire as well. I was almost sold on the 10 ply for durability purposes, but its a half ton that I never really load down very heavily and don't tow more than a raft every now and again. Also will probably bump up from a 265 to a 275 mostly just for kicks and the price difference is negligible. Thanks for the input!!
