It really depends do you do more driving on road or off. If you do a lot of on road then you want more of a a/t tire. I so far have 1,000 miles on my bfgs and they still look brand new. My buddy had those cooper st's on his ram and he got around 60k out of them. Thats with a lot of offroading and lots of drifting in the winter. I say coopers or bfg's you cant go wrong with either. Only thing im worried about is you being 2wd so might want a more aggressive tire like bfg mud terrain or cooper stt
Well having it dumped is ok you loose a little bottom end power. Doing true duals is yes it could be straight pipe or could have a muffler its up to you. With it being a v6 a lot of people dont go that route cause it sounds like a rice burner. Could always save some money and throw a v8 in there lol

How much did you get the Kelly's for? I'm looking at some grabbers, probably gonna get 265/70/16.
Snowmobiler: I wouldn't go too big on tires because the V6 is going to have a much harder time than a V8 with big mudders. You could get away with 31's, or 32's if you lift it, but anything more than that is going to kill your gas mileage and acceleration. Off topic what kind of sleds do you have?

I was thinking that, but just assumed they were 355's lol. How big of a difference is it with the 32's versus I'm guessing 31's that you had before?
It wasn't a big difference but I could tell some especially in od

Yeah I don't like od anyway, it makes my exhaust sound like crap and takes forever to downshift when I gun the throttle to pass someone. Nothin like a good ole dodge auto tranny haha.
