i recently returned my 69 bronco back to stock suspension. i currently have 33 x12.5 x 15 pathfinder a/t tires. they look new but have a 2017 date code. i am looking for suggestions for a set of 31 x 10.5 x 15 tires which have a fairly aggressive look . ride good, and not too noisy.... and reasonably priced. i do not drive off road and not many miles per year. suggestions are much appreciated and maybe a closeup pic of the sidewall. it is also my understanding that the equivalent metric size is 265 x 75 x 15. the wheels are 9 inches wide.

What is your wheel width? Planning to use the same wheels?

Tires have really gone up since Covid sad to say. For the street I will only use Michelin's, they are just fabulous tires and worth the extra money IMHO. If you drive often, and use the freeway you cannot beat a great set of hooves.

i noticed that Mickey Thompson is offering a Black Friday sale, which could end up saving you some coins.

Tough to beat the BFG AT KO2 or KO3's IMO for a decent all-terrain tire that does well on the road, wet or dry, isn't too noisy, wears decent, rides well, etc. For a slightly lower cost option, I've run the Cooper Discoverer AT3 tires on another rig and they seemed to do pretty well overall for costing about $50 less a tire (in 33's at the time). I've also run the Toyo AT3's, which were good tires in most conditions, but roughly cost comparable to the BFG's.

I have run the cooper AT3 on my work trucks and they have performed quite well. In fact I am fan of Coopers for the price and performance. Frankly, though if I was just running around town I might look at a lower end brand as well.

I'm in the BFG camp also. All terrains are hard to beat, they have an aggressive look, but are very quiet and they wear good. Can't say there's cheap though. I really want to put a set on my F150, but at $1,400 they're gonna have to wait until the factory tires are shot.

My vote would have been for the KO2 also.
Question now is...white letters in or out? I usually don't like white letters, but the way BF does them I always leave them out.

I have run these on all my trucks for years with great success.
