Default Tire Recommendations

Hey guys,

I'm looking for some new tires for the Dak because the ones on it right now are practically bald, not too mention they are too small (how I bought the truck).

I'm from Canada so I'm dealing with the ****ty weather occasionally, we had our first major snow fall yesterday and I was sliding all over the place and I wasn't giving it any gas at all. It has P215/70R15's on it now and looking for a bigger tire (if I can get one).

Any recommendations? I would like to keep the stock 15" rims for now.

Thanks

Thanks guys,

The Toyo Open Country AT's look like a pretty good tire, kind of expensive though.

I'm trying to find a set of tires that are on sale before the winter tire rush sale ends. Has anyone used Goodyear Wrangler Territory tires before? Canadian tire has a sale on them for $161 a tire ($215) regularly. Just trying to find a set of tires that wont make me slide all over the place.

Thanks for the suggestions so far though!!!

General Grabber AT2. Awesome tire so far. We'll see how they do in the snow, but I'm sure they'll do great. Only thing is if you drive on back roads or rocky roads a lot, maybe don't get the grabbers... They throw rocks ALL over the place due to the tread pattern.

That was also a tire I was looking at getting, from what I could tell it looked like a pretty good bang for the buck. I was a little hesitant because there were no reviews given (I look at reviews like no tomorrow).

I haven't driven off road yet since its my first truck, but I do want to take it off-road occasionally.

I love my bfg a/t's!! This is my second set and im happy with them in all conditions. Snow,mud,rain,sand and rock. They are a bit much but I got 32's online at discounttiredirect.com(they price match) I got them shipped to my door for 610.00. A year later and they still look brand new.

Yeah the grabber's a nice tire. Good price, good quality. I'd recommend them. Ramguy - I'd say you got a steal on your BFG's! I'd definitely have gotten them if I could have found a deal like that. I'm happy with mine so far though.

I also got them mounted and balanced for free and my truck aligned for free. So I got all that and tires for 610.00 lol
