    Alright guys i need some help finding a tire for my truck. My stock ones are done so time to upgrade. Im looking for 285/75/16 in a AT or MT. I want something with a nice look a little aggressive but that will last as well for a little while. I do alot of road driving but i want it to perform in rain snow and light offroad if I decide to go there lol. I was looking at the Duratracs, but im getting good and bad reviews, someone told my cooper discover at3 are nice but idk if they are aggressive enough for me. Help me out with some pics and or ur thoughts.

    PS for right now im going to do a 2 inch leveling kit just to fit the tires but by winter im doing a fox coilovers with all pro leaf pack

    You can't go wrong with the Firestone Destination A/T. If you want something a little more aggressive looking, check out the Kelly Safari TSR.

    Love my Nitto Trail Grapplers. Only thing I don't like is the weight.

    i've been running a set of fierce attitude m/t's for a few months now. not too much noise for a m/t that is pretty aggressive and the ride is great.

    I love my General Grabber AT2s. Aggressive tread and good on and off road so far. They do not have any excessive road noise either.

    I have the BFG AT's and like them. Many people in the local club here have the Duratracs and really really like them and I honestly have not heard a bad review on them. The other tire many have and also like are the Micky Thompson MTZ's. Hope that kind of helps. Good luck.
