Default What tires should I get for my 2003 Ram?

First of all my truck is a 2wd with a 2" level kit, im getting new tires within the next few days and I had my mind set on the BFG All Terrains but im kinda thinking maybe some mud terrains just to make my truck look a little more aggressive, wont be doing much off roading. Any opinions on wether i should get all terrains or mud terrains, just wanting to make my truck look aggressive

Default What tires

I have an 04 4wd SLT Ram 1500, it has massive 20" Goodyear Wrangler Duratrac's. I primarily use the truck to tow a travel trailer and do not go off-road. I'll use these tires until I have to replace them but they will not be as aggressive as these. I don't need aggressive looking tires, the truck looks aggressive on it's own to me. But this is america and the gov't has not started telling us what tires we can buy so get whatever you like!

Mud terrains won't last very long so if you do alot of driving you're going to be getting new tires pretty frequently. Try looking into the Toyo's, Cooper's, and Nitto's. Also what size wheel do you have and what size tire are you looking for?

You're definitely going to be looking into an A/T tire at that size then because I'm not sure if they even make M/Ts in less than 35/12.5

Yes they do. I have had as small as a 31x10.5 MT tire. Planning on buying some 285/70R17 MTs myself thru Treadwright.
