Anyone going to start making some tires????
 
Well im in the market for some tires. I dont want to go bigger and lose power and i really dont feel like spending well over 200 for a tire. Is BFG TA ko going to make a tire to match up to our factory rubber on my 18's? Or for that matter is anyone else going to start getting a better selection out there???
My dad and i are both looking and the tire selection SUCKS! So if anyone knows if anyone is soon to come out with a new tire let me know!:beers:

I feel your pain. I went ahead and bought the Nitto Terra Grappler 285/60/18 and I love them. Put them on the factory FX4 rims and everything is fine. It does feel like there is a little more drag from take off but overall I am very happy so far. Cooper did come out with the STT Discoverer that looks pretty cool and it is a match for the 18" wheels. Even if BFG did come out with a 275/65/18 I am sure you will be paying over $200 a piece. :wave:

Ahh id pay just over 200 for them tires though! I love the looks of them. Cooper is ok...just dont like the looks. Id like to go a bit wider if i could if anything. More of a nice wide stance. I noticed the dodges have a wide tread.

I want some aggressive yet street friendly tires. I think BFG MT's would be the perfect road friendly MT but they don't make them in 33's only 35's and I don't want 35's with just a leveling kit b/c of lack of room to flex. My favorite are the Toyo MT's but they are outrageous! I'm stuck too! I feel your pain!

You would think since the #1 selling truck in America has been out for 3 years now that they would start thinking about making some tires for our 18's. I mean wtf do they pple think??? I have 20,000 on my bfg rugged trails and if i get another 10-15K outta them ill be lucky. They are too the wearbars and i just want new tires.

I'm in the same boat. If nothing happens soon, I guess I'll be getting BFG AT's although I'd rather have BFG MT's or Toyo MT's. I don't know any other tire that would be aggressive but very road friendly (quiet and last a while).
