Tire Choice Help
 
1 Attachment(s)
I should probably get an A/T tire because I will be driving this on the street but I think I'm going to go with a M/T tire just because I want it to look mean!!!!! I was looking at these 2 in a 265/75/16. Tire Discounters ordered them in & are going to try them on today to see which look the best & if they rub or not. Any other ideas?

The KM2's are the hotness. In my humble opinion, stay away from crap tires...like Nanking. For $140/tire, you can find other substitutes that will be much safer, last much longer, and perform better.

Take a look at the Goodyear Wrangler Authority A/T from Walmart. I currently have these on my truck.

This tire is very similar...but the tread design is better in snow.

The BFG A/T are second to none, but are not quite as aggresive as the Goodyears

These tires are priced well, offer great traction in snow, wet, or dry conditions. In dirt they are good, in mud...not so much. I had a set of these on my truck before I got the Authority's. They were great.

I have 265/70/16 BFGOODRICH A/T's on mine and I really like them. You should be ok w/ 265/75 on the truck. But I recommend get A/T over M/T. They are much quieter and will last longer. But whatever u get will look good. Nice ride!

The Cooper Discoverer STT http://www.coopertire.com/html/produ...discoverer_stt is what I put on my stock rims and they look and ride great. 255/70/16

I got mine a New and Used Tired shop, so the guy brought my old tires from me making the deal that much sweeter.

The only negative thing I can say about them is they are noisy. :icon_headbang:
