There is a good chance that the stock tyres are not great to begin with which is often the case (have done zero research on the mq triton tyres so I could be wrong). So might as well trade them in for a better quality tyre that will last longer/ more puncture resistant etc. Also the ground clearance on the triton is not great so a little more from a slightly larger tyre would not hurt but at the expense of taller gearing and fuel consumption. I have a 2010 challenger and put BFG AT (275/65/17)on when I bought it new. Which it only about 14mm bigger then standard. Have 182,000 on the clock now and still have close to 10,000 left on the tyres (second set) so am really really happy with that. Grip etc has always seemed really good and yes I like the look of them to. When I get the new Triton I will probably get the same size which I think is around 40mm bigger then the stock triton tyres.
Just wish the gearing was not so tall. My challenger has spent 90% on bitumen but the other 10% is where I have fun etc so I like having the AT tyres. If you really do 99% bitumen work then maybe a quality HT would be better.
