I would go with BFG ATs. You can get 305/65R18s. These are some of (if not) the best ATs you can get. Ride really good, balance very good, and last forever. My past set got almost 50K out of them. I even hear others getting more mileage out of them. Just keep them rotated and balanced. I do mine every 5,000 miles.

Nitto Terra Grapplers are a good tire have had mine on for 10k work well in all driving conditions very quiet and smooth ride on the road with an aggressive look. I think they wear slightly faster then the BFG but they also cost less.

I dont think a 305/65/18 will fit on a leveled 2wd.

A bfg at 285/65/18 is about a 33' tire...should fit...may have minor rubbing.

I definitely like the bfg at, and the next I would pick is the New goodyear duratrac.

Couldn't agree more.

Great bang for bucks, very [extremely] quite, very good wear-n-tear, near road tire ride quality and has a damn nice aggressive tread pattern given the AT [and not MT] class.

Check my sig, 2wd leveled with 4x4 block out back. Tires are nitto terra grapplers 285/65/18. I dont think any bigger will fit, atleast with my rim/lift combo. I did have a super small rub, but a little trimming of the lower bumper valence, and no more rubing.

Thumbs up

2wd id probably go with the 285 but for sure the bfg's all terrain the best route because you get what you pay for i have a set of bfg mud terrains 35x12.5x18 right now with 42,000 on them with probably abother 10,000 left on them thats got a few nights of spinnin them and ive had all terrains get just as many miles. best tires on the market best all around you will NOT regret buyin them.

I agree i love my at2's. I would get them again if it was to do all over again, but then again i plan on moving to a mt tire. They ride great, balance great, and last long. They are quite, but have a good aggressive look to them. Plus i got them for quite a bit cheaper (my dad works for general lol)

Here are a few pics of mine.







Okay, okay, I'm done.
