    Thats like asking what the best airplane or vehicle is. It depends on what you want to use it for.

    you need to give us way, way more details before we can recommend a tire for you, as different tires are designed for different things.

    do you wheel the truck? do you stay on-road?
    if you wheel, do you wheel in mud or mainly rock?
    do you live in a place that gets snow? Does it rain a lot where you live?
    how much do you drive per year, around?

    Yeah bad description on my part but I wheel as much as possible 2wd replacement truck for now, totalled my old 4wd. I go up to Payson az a lot and wheel around there in the mud and through rocks on all types of trails love the mud and try to cover my truck in it when possible haha. It snows frequently there in the winter. Also work EMS and drive all over the city for different stations drive about 60 miles a day right now. Interested in building this into a lt down the road.
