Default Help with Tires/Wheels

Hello all, I gotta question on tires. I am lifting my truck this summer and am having a hard time decidng on tires, I am going with 33's. I have narrowed it down to a few different choices. 1) BFG km2 2) cooper stt 3) Fierce Attitude. My question is mileage (both mpg and longevity). This will mainly be used as a dd (I know an at tire would better suit my needs, but really like the look of the mt and am going with one). I will occasionally be doing some offroading (mainly mud) as well as it has to preform in snow (as I live in Minnesota). As with all tires, one gets mixed reviews, I need to get 40,000+ miles out of them so am looking for any experiences/opinions. Please don't bring up toyo, because I can't afford $400 a tire. I'm planning on MT sidebiters (15x8 with 5x5.5 bolt) also does anyone know of a good 16x8 5x5.5 all black alloy wheel (would need if went with the attitudes as they only offer 16in rim. Any help is appreciated!!

I've got the Fierce atittude MT's on my 07 1500. And have been very happy w/them(285/70/17). They are a D-rated tire but thier rated for I believe 3150#. As with all MT's rotate rotate rotate. Good luck

Thanks for the response, I definitely like the fierce the best. My issue is that I would have to get a steel rim because I can't find an all black 16x8 with a 5x5.5 bolt pattern. I have steel rims on the truck now, but since I am not regearing and I have the 3.55 ratio, I think it would help performance wise to go with alloys. Any opinions on this. If steelies are ok, then there is an American racing rim I like.

You can't put 16s on a dodge ram. Smallest wheel you can run on this trucks is 17s

Actually I am putting the wheels in my 1991 (which has stock 15x6ish), when the moderator ^^ moved it he put it in g3 referring to the 06' but I figured it wouldn't 't really matter due to the question is not specific to the truck. With this out of the way, any other ideas??
