I'm on my second set of Goodyear Territory MT tires. The first set I had 27,000 miles and then I got a new vehicle that came with new Territories. These are hard to beat tires for the price. They provide grip in every situation I've put them through (Including mud & water coming over the hood of the truck and they had more traction and performance than a truck behind me with the infamous Nitto's). My biggest dislikes are they get very noisy starting at about 20,000 miles, even with rotations every 3,000 miles. These tires also have weak sidewalls, but their price makes replacing them not very painful.

What drivers say about their 275/70 R18 tires
The most recent owner reviews fitted in this size, in their own words.
Have had KO2, Toyo AT3, Yokohama MT tires for comparison.
We drive mostly highway, tow a 6k trailer, weekends are off pavement.
Initial impressions-
Expect fuel economy loss. These are heavy tires for an AT. We had these on a 2” lifted 22’ 4Runner- just awful fuel economy. Now have these on a 26’ Diesel half ton. The new truck also took a hit in fuel economy.
Great on road, incredible off-road, great on gravel, stable towing tire. Best tire I’ve been on yet and will definitely buy them again.
These get very loud and lose some snow traction as they age, as the siping is not full depth. They also wear weird despite rotating every 5k. I've had better luck in other sizes and lighter vehicles with less power.
They're a great Looking tire, very expensive. Have a wear percentage built into the tread, so you can see if you have >80%, >60% etc. left on the tire. That's pretty smart. They pick up small/medium sized stones, all the time. I went poser and got the 33" LT tire on my F150. They're pretty stiff and my stock shocks don't like the extra weight of the tire. They balance well and are good offroad. I've gone through some 12" deep slop while getting into hunting spots and the traction is good.
I live in southern Ontario so we get a lot of freeze/thaw cycles and where I live snow and ice that sometimes sticks around and other times is gone tomorrow. I was banking on gone tomorrow. That hasn't been true the past couple of years. I used to run Blizzak DMV2 for winter use and thought the nAT would be close. Its not close. The DMV2 and the brake activated traction control meant I Very seldom used 4x4 to drive around. With the nAT from a full stop I used 4x4 more this past winter than I have used it in the entire time I have owned this truck (12-years).
I have 3.73 gears and the acceleration from a stop is no longer fun. The slightly taller size and the greater weight just sucks the off the line performance out of the truck. It was never fun to drive, but now its less fun to drive. Fuel economy is also significantly worse - 2L / 100km worse (3mpg).
Road noise is also worse, but its an AT tire, so that's understandable. I just don't like it.
I was hoping to stop having to do winter tire changeovers and get a tire that could do it all. This just proved to me at least, that a dedicated winter tire is worth the expense. I feel safer when I drive around in the winter with a proper winter tire. Stopping a 6k pound truck on ice with a bit of a skid isn't my idea of a good time.
If I lived in an area that saw less winter, (southern Ohio maybe?) then this might be the sort of compromise I would be willing to make.
TLDR - a tough sturdy tire, that isn't the best performer in winter conditions vs a proper winter tire. Looks sharp on the stock wheels.
