you'll be luck to get one set for 1000

and here ar the ones I have, the have hardly wore at all.

Goodyear MT/R

got same fat *** tread. Nice tries. I never would have guessed Goodyear would make a mudding tire. I will take some pics later to show you how good they are.

hammers gonna tell you to go with the dick cepek FC-II's which are nice, agressive and have good tread wear. Me personally, i hate to defy hammers advice, however im gonna go with pro comp xtreme A/T. agressive tire and are suppose to havegood longevity. ive done a fair share of research on tires and theres so many damn choices..im just gonna take a gamble and if the first doesnt work...try another set until i find one that i like

Boy they are getting to know me too well. MM's gonna get another set in about 25k miles, IMO.
Mickey Thompson/Dick Cepek has long had a reputation for great performance and well above average wear. Toyo's are another good choice. But you'll pay for them. There is an old saying goes something like "You'll get what you pay for"...

Hey there, just my 2 cents; I had Goodyear MTR'S best tires I ever owned. On road or off they were awesome. As long as you rotate every 5000 mi. you get good wear also....

So OEfootball, u put 12.5 wide on the stock 17' rims.. Cool ok... So i can put the rim money towards something more useful. Like the lift kit or the gear upgrade.

On paper, stock 8" rims areonly supposed to handle 11.5" wide tires, but like OE, I've known a few to put 12.5's on the stock wheel without any problems...
