Tires
I am kinda partial to BFG MT KM2's. The only dow side is they eat the gas on the street if you are using your truck for your daily driver. I went back to stocks until the winte gets closer then I will throw my BFG's back on. I received 2 - 3 mpg better using the stock tires.
I run my 50 psi max FCIIs right at 40 psi unless I'm slopping in red clay up home, then I'll go down to 30-32 psi, but air 'em back up asap when I'm back on pavement.
I'd say ideal for his tires is about 36 psi min to 38 psi max when cold is perfect. I keep the Grand Cherokee's soccer mom tires at 38 cold psi and their max rated is 44 psi. Nice thing with the Overland is it's got the monitors on the overhead, so I can see them all the time. On my big camping trip to the N. Ga. mountains, it was 90+ degrees all the way till I started up the mtns. and even after 2-3 hrs. at 75 mph, the hot air psi never exceeded 44. So I really like running 'em at 38 psi cold...
Thanks xfeejayx / Hammerz71 , for the response and info. Just got in from lowering the pressure on all. I went with just around 38 psi. No signs of center damage. GOOD Thing for sites and people on them.
I had just increased to 44 psi. about 3 days ago, and no long trips during. I'm just glad the post came up and made me think about it , and ask. I really don't have the money at hand to replaced 4 , 265/17's , right now. Again Thanks.

It's hard to vote in this poll. Each manufacture has well built tires, and poorly built tires. It depends on what the application is. It's like making a poll asking is Ford better, or is Chevy better, without specifing the vehicle.
toyo open country at's here. love em, but ive never tried anything else on the truck other than the stock goodyear hp's and we all know anything is a step up from those crappy tires. even a small rain storm with a little wetness on the pavement and you will be all over the place. the toyos dont break free in any weather unless i am trying to spin them holding the brake haha.... great tires for a decent price ( $220ish a tire for 20's)
I bought my 2005 in October 2007 (a little over a year ago) and have put about 7000 miles on it. Mostly city driving but here in MinneSNOWta we get a lot of the slippery stuff, and once out of the Twin Cities it's not hard to find gravel or unimproved roads as well. I bought it with stock size 265-70-17 Dayton Timberline MT tires, looking pretty new. Run a hair lowder than regular tires, as to be expected by mud tires. Work GREAT in snow, and even on ice, something most mud tires don't do. Great on dry and wet roads, and dirt. And have not visibly worn much in those 7000 miles. Haven't seen them mentioned here, so decided to put in a word for them. I have heard some rumblings that they stopped making them, but I am not sure if this is true. If so, when the time comes, the Bridgestone and Firestone tires are very close (Dayton belongs to this combined company). Or I may go with Timberline AT tires, as I really don't need the MT's, but they look dang good!

I'm thinking about the stock size (265/70R17E) Green Diamond Icelander M/T. http://www.greendiamondtire.com/productsny2.html Nephew has 'em on his F250 and they seem to have worn well without a lot of road noise.
