Tyre advice sought for 1994 LWB Bighorn

[srlndjd]

I go off-road very little, but still like the idea of being able to do so, but also, I do not want much road-noise on the highway. I have 15" rims (not the standard Bighorn ones) and I am looking at:

Dunlop Grandtrek AT2 31x10.5R15 ($210)
Goodyear Wrangler AT/R 31x10.5R15 ($207)
Bridgestone 694 AT 31x10.5R15 (new model apparently) ($260)

(My mechanic recommends Bridgestone Dueller, but their (out-of-date?) website has only 235/15R15 as largest 15" giving only 29" O.D.)

Any advice? Thanks, Desmond

What about Firestone RV 265 75 15?They're on special at the moment at $189.

I recommend the Firestone, I use these on my MU, 31x15 and I find them really good, although and durable with no road noise above standard road tyres, I am now looking for 33" Muds now as I only use my MU for off road

I know a few people who run the Firestone RV's and find they are excellent. good milage, road holding etc, and still ok for going on the odd weekend offroad trip if you want to. The price is also very good with the special currently on. suggest 31x10.5x15's on your truck. I also have 15 inch rims on my LWB Bighorn and run tyres in this size.
My road set is the Bridgstone Dueler 694's have done about 80,000km on them and still plenty of tread left for a WOF so they are good too but cost a lot more.

Thankyou Harry, BigBlackMu, and Garth. I've taken your advice. This morning I bought four Firestone RV 265/75R15's, still on sale for $189 each. Lower Hutt Firestone will even find me a used one as a spare of the same size, since my present spare is 30". Even though I only drove home, I already think they are quieter than the Falkens I've had since buying the vehicle, which are now worn, noisy, and one is no longer round!
