So many great choices for tires but I ended up going with what we know. We have Wildpeaks on both Bronco Sports and they have been great in all conditions. So at 46 lbs. the 265 70 R18 Wildpeaks are what I bought.
Hec - I was able to use my Amazon points and free shipping - what a great deal.
And saw this amazing pic and that pretty much pulled the trigger.
A member here at the forum posted this with that size and also a Lariat

For you people previously running Nitto's it looks like the Terra Grappler may have a G3 on the market shortly!

I always ruled out LT tires on weight alone. There's several load ratings on many tires I always checked the lightest one. If you hit any trails with jagged rocks you might want the beefier ones.

If I didn't care about our long trips to get to our explorations on the road ..I would probably want to run these.
Mud Falkens......:cool:
Love the way these look

Those sure are pretty.
how rough would they be to run.?
I’ll probably need new tires by the time it starts raining down at my parents ranch and it gets pretty muddy, but I do drive maybe 100-150 miles a day..
Bad enough for you to pass them… because of weight? Road noise? Mpg loss?
I’m deaf in one ear so road noise isn’t a huge deal to me I wouldn’t be able to hear it anyway ?

I run Yokohama Geolanders mostly because I got a good deal on them when the time came to replace my tyres. I've taken them on rough outback roads and tracks, and they performed well, even in mud, and daily drive on them on the tar, no problems dry or wet. I'm happy. Next door has Wildpeaks on his ISUZU wagon, he loves them, so either could be a good buy.

Which Yokohama tire did you get?

On my '19 I replaced the stock Hankooks with Nitto Ridge Grapplers ( 265/70/17) and they were great at first. But after only 25,000mmiles they were showing signs of wear really bad. I rotated them every 5K so I'm guessing the heat in AZ was a major factor in this? I replaced them with a set of Toyo AT3 (265/70/17) and really loved those! They were really great on/off road and seemed to be wearing better than the Nittos. I didn't have them long enough (due to an accident) for a full review but in the short time I had them along with all the prior reviews these are the ones I'll be replacing mine with when the time comes.

My tuned truck moves great with the Wildpeaks but I am looking forward to getting the AT3s and dropping some unsprung weight. Almost 10lbs per tire.
