Default 315/70/17 Tires

I wanted to know what brand tires you guys are using and what are your thoughts on it? Wear? Noise? Ride? so on... on stock suspension by the way.
Thanks

Well I went to 4-wheel parts and they said I could go 315 with no rub, and also I have had others on another thread tell me that too..now I'm confused and need tires asap but I didnt really want to do a leveling kit (no money right now and I was told you need to change the ball joints and shocks)
Thanks

you definately dont need ball joints to do a 2 inch lift, or any lift for that matter. and you could do without the shocks unless you offroad the truck. You can buy 2 inch spacers for like 68 bucks. I would personaly not do 35 inch tires with no lift you may cram them in there but they are going to rub.
