Bigger tires on stock wheels
Bigger tires on stock wheels
Hey guys...well i thought i had my mind completely made up on getting the 35 bfg muds but now im re-thinking it once again. I got to thinking...im young and show off ocassionaly with a little peel out, nothing special but i know with 35s there would be power loss and would be no point of loosing tread. I off road on occasion and got stuck the other day in a wet field just because of lack of tread. Im either gonna go with nitto terra grapplers or the bfg muds.
Does anyone have any pictures of larger tires on their stock wheels? thanks

Nitto's Terra Grappler All-Terrain Tire Receives First Place in Recent Comparison
In a recent comparison of all-terrain tires, Nitto Tire’s Terra Grappler was ranked #1 by a leading consumer magazine.
The study compared all-terrain offerings from several tire manufacturers and evaluated each tire on 13 criteria, focusing primarily on dry handling and traction, wet handling and traction, snow traction, and noise. All criteria received one of five possible rankings: Excellent, Very Good, Good, Fair and Poor. All 13 tires in the study were sized 265/70R17 and had at least an S speed rating, which is rated up to 112 mph.
The Terra Grappler performed exceptionally well in all tests. In dry-handling tests, the Terra Grappler received a ranking of Excellent in Dry Cornering, and a ranking of Very Good in Dry Braking. To simulate wet-weather conditions, each tire was tested on a hydroplaning test surface. The Terra Grappler excelled, receiving a ranking of Very Good in both Wet Cornering and Hydroplaning, and a ranking of Good in Wet Braking. In addition to performing well in three-season driving conditions, the Terra Grappler is also very reliable in winter driving. It received the top ranking in Ice Breaking without ABS tests, and a Very Good ranking in Snow Traction.
Because of its flexibility in all driving conditions, the study recommends the Terra Grappler for all weather conditions.
Each tire was also evaluated for road noise and ride comfort using a concrete road surface built to highway standards. Again the Terra Grappler outperformed, ranking Excellent in Noise, Very Good in Overall Comfort, and Good in Steering Feel.
The Terra Grappler not only performs in all weather conditions, but also provides a quiet ride with little road noise. Its multi-block tread design is excellent for off-road traction and on-road performance. The staggered shoulder lugs ensure traction in any weather condition, including deep sand, mud, snow, and loose gravel. The study ranked the Nitto Terra Grappler as best for all weather conditions, and first overall.

I'm going with a nice set of 33's because I can clear them without a leveling kit. I don't feel like messing with my suspension.
