I'm not going off road, no dirt roads, no hauling or towing. So what would be the advantage for me to get a aggressive tire? Are they louder? Gas mileage? Do they just look meaner?
On a leveled 4x4 a 285x70x17 AT would fit your need's perfectly. Go too small and you'll wish you went bigger later.

Both seem to have good reviews.

I'm thinking the Grabber HTS or now the Destination A/T

Which do you think?

All reviews for both say quiet, good in the snow, smooth on road. Everything I'm looking for. Of course each have negative reviews, but mostly good.

Those mentioned tires are good for the price but I would also check out the Nitto terra grapplers. A little more expensive but probably a better tire an look's more aggressive. Also they are a 10 ply LT rated tire too so they are built tough but may ride a little rougher.

Does anyone have pics of 275-70 18? Or an opinion on how that would look with a 2" leveling kit on the front?
