All terrain tires? Shopping help

I'm about to have my kore leveling kit installed and put on some new tires. Currently stock. I have been quoted $250 per tire for 305/70r17 nitto terra grapplers. I like the look of the tire but not sure on the mileage. The shop told me it would be a nice size tire for me so I wont rub anything. Any suggestions for a better a/t tire at a good price? They will be goin on stock wheels. Any pics of bigger tires on stock wheels would be nice too.

I am running the 285/75R-17's. got over 45,000 on my first set and I am seeing no reason I won't at least match or get more miles out of this set. Not been doing as many burn outs as the first set...

You should be able to find Yokohama Geolandar A/T-S in 315/70-17 for about $170. That's what I run with my Carli setup, no rubbing. Good tire IMHO.

I just bought 295/70/17 Load E Hankook DynaPro ATM tires for $222 each out the door. These tires have been great so far! I spent quite a bit of time reading reviews and searching on here and Cummins Forum. So far, I am super happy with my choice!

Not trying to be nit-picky, but they're a Korean company.

I'm running stock size Hankooks and have 15K on them. Have more than 1/2 the tread left. Ride nice and not very noisy. Good price at Discount tire. Ordered as a set,took about 1 week for delivery.

ive got the hankooks too, they ride great and are wearing like iron. Ive towed once only, for about 500 miles with 10K behind my. No squirming at all. Im not sure why some people have wildly different experiences with tires. I drive predominantly highway

40000 miles so far on mine and I'm still at 50% tread life. I'll buy them again.
