No to be honest my LR3 is deadlined. I don't feel it safe or prudent to drive the truck on the tires. Especially not a 2600 mile trip plus wheeling.

I will still be at Romp just as a passenger. I'm renting a car and driving up.

I had to order in the 33x12.50R18 Grabber X3

Those are good looking tires....I almost bought them!

I went with the Cooper Discoverer STT Pros though. It was a close call. I liked them both.

Well I am back to the drawing board Discount Tire cancelled the order apparently they will not mount 33x12.50r18 on a 8" wide wheel. It must be 8.5" wide.

Wish they would have mentioned that when I was at the store talking to them

Grabber A/Tx or Cooper. I’ve had Coopers and Grabbers and have had great success with them both on my 4Runner. Just my 2c.

I'm looking a bit more aggressive than the AT/X. I ran the AT2 and it was ok.

I am currently deciding between the Cooper MTP, Grabber X3, the Nitto Trail Grappler, and Falken MT01. I'm going with the 275/70R18.

Grabber X3 would be my pic. Good looking tire, plenty aggressive and General makes a quality tire.
