Thanks for all the info.

I am probably going to go with the 305's.

I'm not sure what flavour but will check with my tire guy.

I have some new pics of my Truck all kinds of new mods on my 1 month old Truck!

I'm running 33x12.50x17's as well as cranked my torsion bars up a bit and no rubbing at all, even when I'm wheeling.

Dr.Meow, how do the Jones' ride down the road?? How many miles do you have on them and how are they wearing? My buddy just bought 33's for his truck, has only 200 miles on them and likes them. Just curious. Thanks.

The Parnelli's have a bit of howl but what mud tire doesn't. I have about 11,000kms on them and they are wearing just great.
I imagine they will wear faster on the pavement but I rotate them every oil change. I even used them in the winter and they were awesome. The only time I noticed the lack of traction was on packed ice, just not enough sipes to grip the snow but that's what the lever on the floor is for!

Do they ride smooth on the pavement? Compared to stock Goodyears??

Yes they are super smooth just a little loud. I mean the stock Goodyears are built just for the road but suck ***
in the mud. The two tires aren't really comparable to each other. Depends on what you want out of the tire.
