Taking recommendations for either a 285/75/R17 or 285/70/R17 Tire. All Terrains or not as aggressive Mud Terrains are preferred. I’ve ran many tires and brands but not on a 2020 Ranger. I’ll be going with some sort of 3-3.75” lift. Thanks in advance!

Here’s a couple pics of the ole steed

21 Tremor.
I'm running 285/70/17 Falken Wildpeak MT's so far I like them. There is some noise but it doesn't bother me. They had good reviews.

I went with MT's because I did not want rocks thrown up on my truck like AT's do. Price was decent too. My wife Jeep had 37 inch Falken Wildpeak AT's on her new Jeep.

Goodyear Wrangler ATS or Adventure, or BFG AT in load range c. These durable high quality tires work really well for a balance of on road performance, load capacity, and off road. The general grabber ATs that came on my Tremor also seem good, my experience is limited to about 5 hours off road and 1000 miles of total on an doff road driving.

Take a look at the Nitto Ridge Grapplers. I have had them on mine for about 15,000 miles now and really like them No road noise at all and a nice aggressive tire for off road. One complaint I've heard with them is they don't do well in snow and since you're in TX and just had your 100 year snow you should be good now. We don't get much rain here so I cant comment on how they re in mud but in sand and rocky terrain they perform great. Seems like they're out of stock almost everywhere but you could contact @Discount Tire to see if they can help you out.

I bought mine here because at the time Discount Tire wasn't a sponsor here. You can read some reviews here too.

I had some experience with those tires on a power wagon up in Colorado. They did good even in a whiteout blizzard ??

If I were going mud terrain it would be the Falken WildPeak M/T as Ranger 2021 or the Nitto Grappler Trail Grappler M/T.

For an All Terrain tire IMO Durtracs are the most aggressive available and the best AT for off-road priority. Available C, D or E rated.

LT 275/70-17 D
