New tire suggestions

So my 2nd gen is about ready for new tires. Will be using 3rd gen 17" wheels, preferably in a 285/70/17. In the past I've ran Toyo tires on previous vehicles both M/T and A/Ts and never had problems.

Recently I've seen Toyo has came out with a hybrid between an M/t and A/t called the R/t. Truck sees mostly street use with the occasional off road use and sand dunes. Seems like the new R/t would fit in, just curious if anyone has any insight on them. Thanks

I'd say Toyo does their homework before a tire makes it to the market. That's probably the tire I would choose for your application.

They are very easy on the eyes that's for sure.

Thanks for the response fellas I'll have to see what my local tire dealer can do they don't seem cheap, but you get what you pay for. Plan to go threw all the joints and what not in the front end at the same time so may take a while.
