cant i think i can swing 265/75/16 just have to talk to my parents.

 

I need a new set of tires also. I was thinking of getting a set of those Dafinity MT's from Pepboys, I've herd they are your best bang for your buck for mt tires.

 

I have run both the old style Kuhmo M/Ts and the Grabber AT-2s, in fact I wrote reviews in Tire Rack a few years ago on both.
For a mud/rock tire the Kuhmos can't be beat in thier price range. They out wore the pricey set of swampers they replaced, ripped through Arizona mud, and crawled over many a ledge with as little as 20 lbs of air in them. Road manners were awesome, and they were one of the quietest mud tires I've every owned. I know I would buy them again over any Interco tire...
My regret was replacing them with a set of grabber At-2s. While my initial impressions were good, they simply didn't hold up. Highway manners were excellent, although I got about half the mileage out of them that I did from the Kuhmos.
The worse part was on one of the few off road sojourns we attempted, I bounced off a boulder on a narrow ledge road and popped a fist size portion of the corner tread and sidewall off. The tread also shredded easily when underinflated. Although I stll have one of these as a spare, I would never recommend them except for folks who want a big looking tire for short jaunts on pavement or gravel.
As an aside, I replaced the ailing AT-2s with a set of Pep Boys Dakota M/Ts. Although they are made by Cooper, a company who has some quality issues in the past, they have held up well. They are as quiet as the Kumhos, handle deflating well, and have better highway manners then most mudders. I would recommend these tires to anyone seeking a bargain all purpose tire, but I understand sizes are limited.

 

Sorry, would like to add that going to a larger tire will require reseting your BCM for that. It will also kill your bottom end acceleration. If you're on a budget stay with the size you have now. You can always go bigger when you have more cash.

 

I haven't noticed any change really when I went to 285/75R16...any bigger and sure!

Save your money get the tire you want rather than what you can afford at this exact time.

That is what I did! I spent $200 per tire I believe, that was the tire, mounted, balanced and installed. BFG All-Terrain TA KO

 

I have terrible acceleration and my tires aren't even that big lol

 

haha our trucks arnt known for amazing acceleration, haha im running 285 75 16 geolander at/s my next set will be the same size but im thinking either dayton timberland m/t or kuhmo m/t havent decided

 

I have 285/75-16 Yokohama Geolander A/T-S's on my truck, and absolutely love them. HUGE improvement over my old worn out Wild Country XTX's.

For four of them, it cost me $791. Kinda pricey, but you have to think, THE MOST important thing on your vehicle is the tires. They are the only thing that touches the road.

I have about 300 or so miles on them already, and have only gotten stuck once due to my own stupidity, and this is all 2WD driving in MT snow.




Only thing I don't like, but can live with, is no white letters.

 

mine have the white letters but i find that the geos wear out to fast for an all terrain so im getting mudders at least i will have lots of grip with fast wear

 

Their rated as a 40K mile tire with proper rotation (5K to 6K miles) and at 35 PSI.
