Default Ideas for wheels & tires (pics)

I have recently been considering buying some new wheels and tires. I almost have the money saved up and I need some help with what you guys think would look good. I do not care what size rim as long as the tires comes out to be 33". Curently has a 2" leveling kit with 305/70/16 Nitto Terra Grapplers.

Thanks in advance for the input!

Price for a wheel/tire combo will vary greatly based on rim size. IMHO nothing looks more business than 15" D-slots with big weenies. I got my set of 15" pro comp series 52 steelies and 35" pro comp mud terrains for just under $1000 shipped from summit. can't beat it for looks or price

IMO, Terra Grapplers suck! And so does simple tire. Their prices kept changing (going up) everytime I hit the back button after looking at a tire to go back to the list.

Well opinions are like farts, everybody does them. Some just smell worse than others. I had no issues ordering my tires through them, and for how I run my truck, I like the grapplers so far.

I've spoken to a couple guys and they've both said that the Terra Grapplers look great, they hook well, but they wear like ****. And they're expensive too. lol

Had the grapplers for less than 1 year due to tread wear. Had 15-20,000 miles on them and got stuck in 4wd in 4 inches of mud in my front yard when they were new. Minus the tread wear, the on road (pavement) manners were good. Anywhere else, not so much.

But, to each their own.

They were alright to me, they're gettin close to bald now and I still dont get stuck with them. The wear is kinda sh*tty though.

There is a thread for tires in the diy section. Wheels are a personal choice, start browsing retail sites...
