Time for tires

I am going to need some tires really soon. I would like to go with the 285s since I plan on putting a leveling kit on soon. I also want load E tires. Of course I want a tire that lasts forever, handles awesome, is quiet and only costs 50 bucks . OK back to reality....

What are you guys running, about how much were they and do you like them or hate them?

Well you know what i'm running.

I don't think there are a lot of choices for LR E in a 285. There are some, but your choices are more limited. You can get them all day long in a 265, but you already know that.

I do know the best deals are on the web usually, and if you buy from Tire Rack Merchants tire will mount and balance them for free. Just something to consider. It saves like 12-15 buck a tire.
