I have hunted for the next tire most of the summer and it looks like I have decided on these. You can get them from Wartires.com
Yeah if you never touch pavement. Maximum speed they're rated for is 62 MPH.

Well these cooper stt's are 118 apiece. 908 shipped off tire depot.

I saw you saying good about them somewhere merc and they're rated high so I'll probably go with them. General was my second choice.

That suits me just fine there guy, as most of the speed limits in my area are under 65 mph. It will see pavement and off-road use and its built for it unlike some trucks on DF.

I like the tires that came on my truck. Good traction in the rain, haven't used them properly in the mud, so I dunno about that.

Wait until you take them off-road then you will love them. Up here in the snow, ice, hard packed snow they just rocked. I don't play in the mud not my thing but I would think they would be good as well.

Gotcha lol. But good, can't wait to get them. Heard they lasted a good while too even for a mud tire. I stopped running through a lot of mud cause no matter how many times ya wash it, there's always mud falling down.

But yeah 218 apiece I meant. Still a killer deal especially for 35s!

It might be the hwys (mountains and lots of curves) I drive but all I got outta mine was roughly 30k miles, the ****y Dana 44 did not help any either (it was kept in top shape all the time).

How'd the Dana 44 cause you problems with the tires?

A Dana 44 is just Too small for such large and heavy tires. Tears through front end parts
