    Well I've have some Kelly Safari Trex 245/75/16 tires on my truck for about a year now, and honestly, I want bigger. Im wanting some 265/75/16's and I was wanting some opinions on what I should get. Im not looking to get the cheapest tires, but not the most expensive either. I like the General Grabber AT2s a lot, but would like opinions. Thanks guys!

    Everyone is going to recommend what is on their trucks.

    What do you want? All Terrain? Mudders? Highway tires?

    What do you drive on? Snow, ice? Mud? City driving?

    Do you want a quiet ride? Do you just want it to look badass?

    Well I do a lot of street driving, and I drive on dirt roads daily. Theres maybe 2 snows a year where I live and hardly ever much ice. I dont really care about quiet or loud, just wanna look like they have a little beef on them without lifting it and a pretty badass look as well.

    Though I'm perfectly happy with Firestone Destination AT's currently on my truck, it's time for replacement and I'm considering two: Hankook Dynapro ATM if I decide to be reasonable or Goodyear Duratracs if I decide to get what I REALLY want. We'll see which side of me wins

    A bunch a cool stickers, a bada ass MetalMiller Tx Longhorns grill emblem painted Hemi Orange, JBA long tube headers with o2 sims, Diff breather mod, Red LED interior lights, Fancy head unit that plays ipod n movies, Also DIY install factory stuff like, factory cruise control, factory intermittent wipers, OME nitro struts with 886x springs and toy tec top plate, JBA high caster UCA's for better alignmnet and dey beefier too, Old Man Emu Dakar leaf springs in da rear with the gear, U bolt flipper, Ivan Stewart TRD rims with 33" K Bro 2's, some bad ass weather tech floor liners so I don't muck up my interior, an ATO shackle flipper for mo travel in da rear wit the gear, also super shiny Fox 2.0 shocks back there too, all sorts of steal armor for bouncing off of the rocks like demello sliders, AP front skid, trans skid, n transfer skid, demello gas tank skid, and a tough as nails ARB bumper with warn 8k winch, I'm sure there's more
    Personally, if you are planning on doing zero off roading, get a tire that is made for the road. It will last you longer, and stretch your dollar out. I would say no to any M/T and choose carefully on any aggressive A/T. There are nice A/T's that are geared more toward street but will give your truck an aggressive look. I was looking at goodyear triple treads for street tires, they are great running shoes. I had BFG A/T's once and they were nice hiking boots. I never had combat boots on before, but if I had to choose I'd probably go with the BFG M/T's just because they are popular and tried n true. Good luck

    I wasnt too happy with the Rugged Trails that came stock on my truck, and i finally punctured the side wall on one of them so that gave me a reason to get new tires. I ended up getting the BFG A/T because i spend quiet a bit of time off road but it is also my daily driver. When i was looking at tires i came across a new rubber that BFG came out with. Rugged Terrain T/A. They look pretty aggressive and would do great on the road and for some light off raoding. Might be perfect for you

    I'll be the "other guy" compared to the TA KO's :D
    Michelin LTX AT2's are Badass. No road noise, great gripin all weather conditions (never experienced snow though) and great grip for the occasional offroading. Had em on before my baby grew and loved them.

JUST ONE MORE TIME THE RUGGED TA'S ARE SHIT, JUST HOT MOIST POOP!!!!!!!!!! Look a good year & the rest. :rolleyes:
