Erm, don't you WANT your tires to rub on the road???? Isn't that the whole point? Do you have the worlds first levitating Ram????

Those are basically 35 inch tires are they not? What gears do you have, and how does it drive around town for ya? (I am consider tire sizes, but, don't wanna go to large for my 3.55 gears.)

OK here is where I am at with tires. Narrowed it down to a few. Firestone Destination M/T, MT MTZ, MT ATZ, Cooper STT, or Dick Cepek F C-II. Any thoughts? Im going to be running KMC XD Hoss black 16x8 rims.

BFG AT's last on average 20k miles with 80% street 20% desert use. That hardly makes them the best AT of all time. With the way chemical compounds change from batch to batch, tires are very hit or miss. The only good "terrain" tire that BF Goodrich makes currently is the Baja TA, and they are terrible on the street IMO.
I just got a set of 305/70/16 kumho KL78 and so far they seem great, we don't have any snow on the ground yet but there's almost no road noise and they're a lot more stable on gravel than my old 245s. Also, the truck is not lifted and the tires don't come close to rubbing on the road.
