Default 35" tire opinions ?????

Im going to be purchasing some rims and tires for my Ram Mega cab. (Which doesnt matter, but for conversations sake I threw that in there)

Going with either 20x10 or 20x9 rims.

I dont even know where to start with the tires. There are a lot of options out there. I will mainly be driving on streets, 2nd on snow, 3rd off road or tied with 2nd.

I want a good looking tire that isn't noisy and wont wear fast.

I'm mostly looking for first hand experiences, opinions are ok, but experiences are best!

thanks!!

I have 35" inch Cooper STT tires and love them! But they are loud at speed of 40+ mph. I literally cannot get stuck when I am doing work or something off road with these things. Minor setback is they don't last as long as non aggressive tires. They look mean though.

On another note, since you do not want loud tires check out some Nitto Terra-Grapplers. My buddy has those on his Cummins. They are big, not sure of the size but they aren't 35s, but they aren't loud and still have good mobility off-road.

BEWARE: Hopefully you know this, but if not here's a nice tip. Your speedo will be off after putting much larger than the factory size on your truck. Mine reads about 4-5 slower then what I am actually going. Found out the hard way when I was doing 5 over, according to my speedo, and got a ticket for 10+

Anyways good luck.
