Default Whats a good buy on tires

Looking for a set of 4 that fit the stock wheels on a dodge ram 2500 year 2001. I pull a 28' race trailer every week and do a little offroad on the farm to pull trailers but thats all. Whats a good brand and style to buy?

DO u have lift on the truck? DO you want a all terrian or a mud terrain tire? For all terrian I am a big fan of Hankook's dynapro ATM. My dad put 4 of those in 285/75/r16 for 680 bucks wich was eveything shop fees, labor, tax,and tires.

toyo is not bad, but i do agree on cooper being a better tire. having put on many of both i would go with the coopers.

disagree on the hankook's, you get what you pay for, i run LR E ATR's on my chevy gasser for work, and they don't last to long pullin stuff around, usually 30,000 or so highway, but the i do much better with the cooper H/T 45-50,000, BUT they don't have the bite to get outta muddy job sites and the ocasional front yard(don't ask). i use to sell tires, and you always get what you pay for them, spend the money and get good ones. i have heard dick cepek (?) AT tires hold up very well.
