    Trying to decide what tire I should go with. I want to stay stock with no lift. I drive 65 percent highway, 30 percent city and I do off road a little bit but mostly with our side by side. I want it to look more aggressive but do not want to lose 4 miles a gallon. Anyone that currently switched and is happy please tell me the size and brand you went with. Thank you!

    Cooper ATP/AT3.

    Michelin LTX is king, but less aggressive looking.

    Agree on the Michelin's if on road is your focus. I've switched to the Toyo AT2 and very happy so far. Rides great on the street and doing well so far with winter weather/snow.

    The LTX is a fantastic offroad tire, so.. I assume by your "on road" comment that you've never heard of them and are merely taking them at face value.

    Its called LTX M&S2 for a reason, right? Or are we talking LTX A/T2? Either way, they both offer good on AND off road traction.

    I may be mistaken, but they look like a street tire.

    Nice truck!

    Firestone Destination AT, Cooper AT3, Toyo ATII... i would consider these suitable to your needs without being mpg killers.

    I run the Toyo and like em

    Thanks man- just have a 2.5 leveling kit. Perfect fit with my setup. no rub etc. Was originally wanting to go with 33 on 18's but way more, and than go 32 on 18's but wheel was on B/O. Went with 32's on 17's and love the look and ride. What wheels and tires you looking at /have?

    Tell us about your blowouts, speeds, temps, size, rating, inflation...I am interested in how the tires failed? In my experience, the LTX usually fail about the 100k point when the tread gets hard.
