I am looking for a more aggressive type tread
In a 265/60/18 for my D3. Something along the lines a of cooper
st max tread type. More off-road orientated than on road. What are others running?
I can't find the coopers in that size

Bridgestone D697 LT265/60R18 seem to be the flavour of the month.

Plenty of reports on here about them.
I'm one of many happy with them.

If you want a more aggressive pattern due to mud use you really have no choice but to get 17's take it from me who has spent a small fortune searching for the right tyre!

Really happy with them.

275/65R18 is the only size mud tyre that will fit, albeit with a few modifications. Maxxis Bighorn in that size is brilliant off-road, but less than competent on bitumen, especially when wet.
