Tires
Alright i want an opinion on what tires yall run and how you like them. I want to get the 35" BF Goodrich's cause they have good tread, dont have to much road noise and are a decent on/off road tire for what im gonna be doing with it. I was gonna do with some more meaty tires but not sure on the tread life of those things and i dont wanna buy new tires once a year. So let me know what yall got and how they are workin for ya. Im going to get them tomorrow so please respond fast

RE: Tires
Here we go again!!!
BFG's are a good tire, not great in any aspect, but good at just about all.
My personal choiceis the Dick Cepek Fun Country II's. They are marketed as a "hybrid" between an A/T & M/T tire, and I find that to be very true. Very long wearing, fairly quiet and good highway handling. At the same time they will play off-road with just about anything on the market except Boggers & Claws. They achieve this by having the center of the tread resemble more of an aggressive A/T pattern, while the inner & outer tread have a more M/T like block setup, coupled with really aggressive side biters that don't come into contact when on pavement.
A great tire for the daily driver who still wants to play hard with the guys on the weekend...

RE: Tires
awww hell.....just go for 36x13.50R20 super swamper IROK RADIALS.... THAT'S WHAT I DID....sounds like a tank going down the road...and surprisingly...after 8K miles...still very very good tread for a swamper. and they wear really good....but for you.....I had the 275/60R20 cooper zeon ltz's and they were great tires....quiet on the road...good for the mud too....there are different sizes but unsure of them all....and really cheap 175.00 each......heres a pic of my 06 with my 2.5" leveling kit with 36's and NO RUBBING! this is before I got the spacers and body lift

RE: Tires
I've got 14k on mine and they still have just as much tread as the day I put them on. Mickey Thompson/Dick Cepek's (two divisions of same company) seem to last forever. The set of Mickey Thompson MTX's I had on before the lift and Cepek's had 29k on them when I took them off and they easily had 80-85% of the original tread, in fact I sold them for half what I gave for them new.
I've got a hunting buddy I talked into getting the MTZ's (Mickey Thompson Mud Terrains) after he wore a set of Maxxis' tires out in under 20k. He's got close to 40k on these and has better than half the tread left.
Now that I have a Grand Cherokee for my daily driver I kinda want to go REAL aggressive on tne truck's tires with a set of Baja Claws, but I can't justify pulling the Cepek's off while they still look new. At this rate, though, it'll be years before I have a set of "Claws"...

RE: Tires
i definatly believe what ever hammer says, but for once im defying him and not going with his decission of the dick cepeks, but im gonna somewhat take a gamble and go with pro comp xtreme a/t's. hammer has heard a lot of bad things, but every person besides him that has them has only said very good things about them. so like i said im gonna get them, if they work out great...thats awesome, if they dont..then ill be looking into another company for tires.

I do however, challenge you to find a poor review of a Mickey Thompson or Dick Cepek tire.
