hey guys whats up like your info thanks alot.yes my truck is completely stock no lift no nothin, it came with 17" wheels and 275 70's,I was going for 285 70 this time.My truck will de daily driven on payment and also alot of sand,and light mud duty.I was just hoping for a better look it would be nice to spend 600 or less.Joehemi I looked at that sight and they have the AT,s listed twice with two prices of one of them being around 130 I think. thats not bad but I think those mudders would look better.As for the other tires you guys named I will get started looking those up after this.If I found a deal that includes custom wheels I would propbaly spend a little more,just trying to get a more aggressive look to the truck, thanks.

Have to agree with JoeHemi. Using the Tire Rack comparison, the Firestone A/T have been rated at or near the top for atleast three years. If you don't need a load rating, they are less than $150

Tire dealers must be nice out in Ohio??? Any tire that Tirerack or Discount Tire Direct has, local guy wants double 'round here. My Cooper LTZ's for example. To my door they were $160 plus $15 per tire mounted. That's $175 out the door. Local guy wanted $279 mounted/balanced plus tax. That's $301.31 per tire out the door. Figure that X's 4. Last time I ever bought local was for a set of 14" rubber. Then local guy is as cheap as shipped.

I've had my nitto terra grapplers for about 5,000 miles now and I have been really impressed, they wear like iron and chuck some mud if needed.

I didnt buy mine new but i think they are around 200$ a pop nowadays
