    Nitto Trail Grapplers on my rig. 35x12.50x18. Currently 48,000 miles on them and still plenty of tread. Great tires. They make smaller sizes also.

    Well I have about 6000 miles on the AT2s since Oct and have been getting about 2-2.5 mpg better on the highway than the Wranglers were.....of course part of that is due to the fact that I dropped the size down to 255 from 265(. Handling is good and never had any hydroplaning at all...these tires are also significantly better traction in the snow and on ice imo. Honestly there are some Cooper tires I liked but price was 20$+ more per tire.

    You will probably like the courser axt.

    http://mastercrafttires.com/Tires/Light-Truck/Courser-AXT.aspx

    I have the same size as you and I just got them installed out the door for $600 (if im correct, maybe $700) either way they are a great tire at a great price . They are also a 50, 000 mile rated tire.

    Where did you get Trail Grapplers for Under $1000 for 35s? The cheapest I saw on the google machine was $270/tire used. They are sweet tires

    For their price I really don't think you can go wrong with the Nitto Terra Grapplers. I know a few guys who have had great luck with them. As soon as I can save up a few bucks my wife doesn't know about I'm putting a set on my truck along with a leveling kit. :D

    Leveled Screw 150s are the best looking full size truck around. I miss mine daily. The leveling kits are also super easy to install. Have done 3 myself.

    I've been putting mastercraft courser AXT on my truck the last 2 rounds. I got them for $650 out the door. They're basically a cooper discovery.
    If you want a little more aggressive look at the mastercraft courser CT (country terrain). It's more aggressive than all terrain, but not as much as mud terrain.

    The AXT is an awesome highway tire. The truck is my hunting truck. It sees mostly interstate actually with some easy off road duty.
