    Anyone have these? Seem like a fairly new tire with not many reviews. For those of us looking to increase size at minimal cost to mpg and ride, these seem like the only option in 275/70r18. They're made in the USA with the three peak rating. They don't look as aggressive as other all terrains but from the photos I would think they're more aggressive looking than the stock Michelin.

    Those aren't actually all terrain tires in that link, they are all purpose. They are still a P rating. Sadly, to get a true all terrain, you will have to get a heavier tire that is going to hit you in the MPGs. https://www.discounttiredirect.com/buy-tires/general-grabber-apt Go to this link and select the two different speed rating options and you will see what I mean. One is a much lighter P rated tire, and the other is an LT tire that is an actual all terrain. Look at the weight differences.
    Now, if you don't care about actual load rating or leaving pavement, then you are correct that you can get the bigger tire in a P rating and preserve some MPGs. This isn't the only tire you can do this with, though.

    I have the general grabber atx’s and hands down the best tire I have owned. I have the 275/70/18 on stock everything. They fit like a glove. I average about 15.4mpg. And after 30k miles they still look brand new and I am on gravel roads every day.

    The ATX is quite a bit beefier than the ATP tire. Good to see you didn't take a major wollop on MPG. Could be a good option for the OP.

    Ah thanks, I didn't even notice the options, I see that the other one is E load, bummer.

    What other common all terrain tires that you know of have this option?

    At 60 lbs a tire and E load, my mpg will definitely take a big hit, tire looks good through.

    I think the Falken Wildpeak AT3W might have a P option. Still, you'll lose some durability preserving the mpg. Personally, because the Tundra isn't great on mileage, I would rather have a beefier tire.
