Income Tax Money is in...

Alright guys..., $550 and no tires. I need some tires. I think that since I already have this much Im going to go ahead and get 35's. I have my 2.5" autospring. Does anyone see a problem with me doing this?

The only prolbem I am having is trying to pick out a tire. There seems to be so many brands and styles. I like to go off-road but its not like an everyday thing. But like I said I do go and when I am off-road I like to go at it. I cant decide between an all-terrain or a mud terrain. What are yalls opinion?

Also if I could see some tires of 35's on a 17" rim on a stock high truck that would be appreciated. If you do post a pic please state the tire size and brand and how you would rate it. Thanks guys!!!

Sorry don't have pics but have read that there is some power loss with the 35's due to the weight(about 80 pounds each). If you do offroad, you may have very little room for articulation with 35's on without a lift. Also, there have been a few running 35's on the factory wheel but it is not recommended by the manufacturers. Another thing to consider is the brakes and stopping distance with the 35's, gas mileage decrease; cost increase and speedometer off(unless you have a tuner). From what I have read, Most do not recommend running 35's unless you have a full suspension lift and so 33's are the norm on the stock wheel without being too extreme on the ??? factor. Not to burst your bubble, but things you need to be o.k. with before you put down your hard earned cash. Also, 33's cost around 200-300 each, 35's are in the upper range closer to 300+ each. The Toyo Mud terrain is considered one of the quietest mud tires and handles well on the street with good wear. Downfall is they are expensive. Others that have been rated well are the Toyo Open Country A/T and the Nitto Tera Grapplers A/t. The BFG all terrain K/o comes in a 33 (285-65)inch that looks good on the factory wheel.Good Luck

Yeah, since you have the 17" wheels.. It probably wouldn't be smart to have 35s mostly because of the width of the wheel.. Get some 33" at's like BFG AT's for Nitto or Toyo... or anything.. Good luck!

If he bought new wheels would there be a problem with 35's with only a lelveling kit?

Say some 22" x 9.5"...


(That would be great for me).

Coopers are a good tire for the price. Not THE BEST; but they are considred good.(not by ALL). I was originally going to buyt that tire for my truck but i ended up getting credit somewhere else and I ended up with the TOYO which is somewhat similar. I say
