Mud Terrains vs All terrains

hey sorry im a 16 year old kid with a budget its not like im a grown ass man with a job and i just joined man give me break sorry i dont know everything about tires and lifts..

 

I haven't read all the posts but.....

But at 16...you need to keep it SAFE and CHEAP. Don't buy M/T tires. Get an A/T tire and keep your parents happy.

If it hasn't been said already - M/T tires are for Mud & offroad. They run great on dry roads, but they suck on wet roads.

I've had a set of M/T's on my 96 tacoma. Its bad enough a pickup truck is light in the rearend, but M/T's in the rain......squirrely.

 

Yeah im getting A/T and maybe i can get some M/T when im a little older and have money to blow on them

 

Alright one last questions can I fit 265/75/16 Duratracs with my stock rims which are 245/75/16 and i think im going to put a leveling kit on it so it leans

 

265s will fit fine with a leveling kit. btw love my duratracs! great all around tire

 

They will fit my stock rim correct? and yeah they look great on your truck man

 

nitto grapplers A/T. They used to be alot cheaper than BF Goodrich A/T but have gotten a little more expensive in the last few years. I do a lot of road driving and they lasted about 75,000 miles with only rotating them about 3 times. Not sure how you plan to fit 33" tires if you have stock suspension. I have an 07' DCOF and put on a leveling kit, without cutting out anything i was only able to upsize my tire by 2 sizes from stock. Not sure the exact size i have now, maybe 285's. Either way, you can make your truck look good without putting huge, non-functional, tires on it.

 

I originally wanted to fit 33 but they are almost a grand and im not spending that much so i decided to go with 265/75/16 Duratracs and i was wondering if that would fit on my stock rims which is 245/75/16

 

I don't see why it wouldn't fir. Same rim size, you're just increasing the width of the tire

 

Check out the Goodyear Wrangler Authorities at Walmart. Right now you can get a 265/75R16C for $166.00. They look pretty agressive for an A/T tire.

Which you think has better performance because i dont mind paying a little extra if duratecs preform better

 

I'm currently running the Authorities. You can read my on-going review of them here.

 

I have changed my mind yet again lol...I guessing im going with the Authorities i love how they look. But what will make my truck sit higger in the front than the back? A leveling kit?

 

Coil spacers will make the truck sit higher in the front

 

Go with some Dick Cepek Mud Country. They wear great and have a nice agressive look. You can order from Wal-Mart and get them shipped to store for free and take them where ever you want to be put on.

 

Is that what you have on your truck?

 

Yeah but im sure I cant get them for under a grand..

 

Yeah. Had a 2.5, it sit up in the front. Then got the 3 and add a leaf but it had rake so I took the overload leafs out. MY friend has 3 inch spacers on his with 1 inch blocks under the rear and it sit level

 

Yeah I love the whole bulldog look to a truck it makes it look Bad ass

 

I like it too sometimes but, at this height I wanted it to sit level for my ground clearance
