Default best tires?

I have a 99 Ram 1500 and I want to get some new rims for it. I was thinking BMF S.O.T.A.'s and I want to know the best tires to get with getting a lift? Any advise would be helpful. I was looking at body lifts for now, but eventually I want to get a suspension lift. I just have to keep saving.

Hmmmm, a little more information will be necessary. Size of wallet, size of tires wanted, driving style, location, uses, towing? Off Roading?

for now I'd just like something to fit stock height. I was thinking 285s or 295s if they'll fit.

I dont know if you would need $75/tire Walmart Goodyears, or $200/tire Michelin highway tires, or $250/tire Toyo mud terrains unless you give me some information.

Hey man, he said BEST! And those tires are wonderful on the highway by the way. The compound is soft and grips extremely well under braking. I've used them on the road before.

The best tire by far is a "round" one.
