Ok being torn here on tires guys.. Wanting to go with either the Pro Comp M/T or the Mickey Thompson MTZ.. I am wanting to go with a 35 and wide as possible.. I was thinking more towards the MTZ just because I can get a 325/65/18.. So what do ya think..As far as tred life.. I have the Mickey Thompson Baja Claws now and I HATE them thats the only reason I am hesitent on getting them.. I am lost on what rims to get so chime in if any advice.. Thanks

Brandon

Well I am sure you can guess my pick.

My buddy also has Mtz's with over 30K on a F250 with tread still left. From what I have heard/seen Claws are just a bad tire for the street.

Both are good tires. Also, both are manufactured by Cooper, so quality should be similar.

My biggest issue is picking a size tire and rim color.. I am wanting to go 35 just because I am wanting to lift with 6" in next 5-6 months.. But I need rims and tires now.. My truck is a dark blue color and am thinking 18" Black rockstars with 35" Toyo M/T.. Will these work with my leveling kit until I get the lift.. Will black look good on my truck or do I go chrome?? To many decisions

I'd wait on the tire/wheel combo if you can. Or, just add new tires now since you will be able to fit 35's with the oem wheel.

Wandell do you think if I went with a 33/15.5/18 those would rub with the rockstars?? With the price of gas going up every day I am really talking myself out of a lift.. These tires look pretty good...But will they fit on that 9" wheel

I wouldn't go that wide. A 325/60-18 (33x13.00) would look great.
