Those Yokohama Geolander ATS work great in the snow but have a very short life on the asphalt. Very soft tread.
for the 255/86-16 guys. My local mom n pops tire shop can have the Maxx 255/86-16 mounted balanced, life time bal/rotation and road hazard done for $244 a tire (out the door) and his warehouses show them in stock.

Shocker
VanDOOM!
Well, I just ordered up a set of 5 265/75r16 for VanDOOM. I think the 255 or the 285 would be just a bit too tall to fit well. The 265's should be perfect. According to Cooper they are about 32" tall so a bit taller than most 265.
Now, if you want to get creative, you can check out Discount Tire Direct on eBay. They are offering a 100 off any purchase over 400. That makes the tires 160 a piece when order as a pair. So I just asked my local DT to match the 160 per tire price and voila, done.
$930 with tax and mounting for all 5. I am stoked.

Don't piss down my back and tell me it's raining.
Great deal...
Anytime you can skate out under a grand for mount, balance, and alignment, you're looking good.
Enjoy!

I never actually tried to take a picture of them but I can testify that they certainly work as advertised. I'll go out on a limb and call them the best overall tire I've ever used for what I like to do.
I think you can see them a little in these pics:

I measured my 255/80-17s this morning and that's about right, mounted, and lightly loaded.

New Shoes:
Cooper Discoverer ST/Maxx, LT265/75R16 Load Range E, 3-ply sidewall.
Diameter 32.1”; Section Width 10.5”; Tread Width 8.45”; Tread Depth 18/32”; Weight 49#.
Installed 3/25/14. Purchased from America’s Tire/Discount Tire, $160 ea. + mounting/tax, etc. (Price match to Discount Tire Direct Ebay Store one-day coupon sale 3/15/14.)
Zero fitment issues on ’05 Nissan Xterra Off Road with 2” lift.
Too new to review – only 2 miles on them in these photos (ooh, virgin tires).
I chose the ST/Maxx over the Cooper Discoverer AT3 because I wanted 3-ply sidewalls and an aggressive tread for the sharp volcanic rock and logging debris common in my area, and because I think they look like an overlanding tire should look. Every review I’ve read tells me that I will love the way they work.
