they are stock p275 65/r18, budget is whatever right now, don't want to go too extreme as these tires have to be good on and off road

KM2s are nasty but a lil pricey, I would say go with the procomp xtreme m/ts they are good on and off road tire, and four wheel parts is having a sale on them come to think about it they always have sales on procomp stuff, but anyways heres the link http://www.4wheelparts.com/Tires/Xtr...0409&t_pl=5379

I'd go with at least a 285/65-18 tire. You need to decide if you want an AT or MT. I'd look at the BFG's, Nitto's, Toyo's, Pro Comp, Mickey Thompson or **** Cepek tires.

I agree with Wandell... I personally don't care for the Mud Graps, or the Pro comps due to wear issues. (and the mud graps look funny to me, but that's just my opinion...)

The Pro Comps really look like a copy of the BFG MT KM with a softer compound, hence faster wear...

I am not sure the Maxxis Bighorn is made in that size, but everyone I have talked to that owns those tires can't say enough good about them on and off road...

On a stock truck a 285x65x18 BFG AT would work out great, these are close to 33 inches tall and are a great all around choice for mostly highway driving and some offroad use. Remember mud tires are designed for mainly off road use and driving them at high speeds on the highway in the rain can be scary. Also AT's will last longer and are a little lighter than the mud tires and will give you a little better gas mileage.

A 285/65-18 (33x11.50) will fit easily.
