Looking to buy a set of new tires as of now i have "2001 ram" OEM 245/75/R16 . Would like a wider tire but not sure what it would look like. Also does anyone have any suggestions on a brand . tirerack has good reviews on Avon Ranger TSE & Continental CrossContact LX. i'm more worried about winter driving beeing a 2wd last year was hell. .. but dont want a mush tire...

 

Check out BFG All terrains. 285/75/16.

 

If you are a 2wd like me, go with the 265 70 16 Yokohama Geolandars.
They ride real well, good tread wear rating too. Also that size will keep you tire circumference
almost completely the same.
You need to also put them on an 8" rim also to let the tire fill out.
