Before long im going to need new tires...im going to keep the stock 18inch rims. I have the BFG rugged trails on right now. Dont exactly need a mud tire but they look great. What is your next tire going to be?

Bridgestone Dueler A/T Revos, in the 265/70/17 variety. I've got the crappy Hankooks (235/70/17) right now, and can't wait for them to wear out.

Either 255/55/18 or 295/45/18

Dont know the brand yet... Somthing "kinda" cheap.

I want a better handling, lower profile, smaller diameter street tire.

I installed 285/70/17 BFG Rugged Trails on mine, then at 5000 miles I fell into a deal on 4 brand new 295/70/17 Nitto Terra Grapplers, the rest is History. The BFG's are in the barn waiting for someone to buy them !!!!
When I left Mikes Shop yesterday morning I pulled onto the freeway and set the cruise on 75 mph and never took it off except to top off the tank in Beckley WVa. on the 335 mile trip home, and to my disbelief the Nittos were very, very quiet at that speed and handled great in the rain.. (it was the first trip with them)

"Stoner Less Time More Shine" for tires. And if you prefer a little less shine you can use their "Trim Shine".

I've always had good luck with the Yokohama Geolanders (A great all around tire that's excellent in the rain)

I'm sticking with the BFGoodrich Radial Long Trail T/A 265/60TR18. They ride nice, they're quiet and the ones I got now are hanging in there pretty good so when the times comes I’ll probably just replace them

I @ 70,000 Miles on my original BFG Rugged trails. Will need something soon. I kept waiting for Bridgestone to come out with the Dueler A/T Revo in a 18 but no luck so far. I've looked hard but so far there are no new A/T tires in that 18" size. These trucks have been out for well almost 2.5 years and no tire manufacturer has developed a tire for two of the most popluar versions of a truck that sells almost a million units per year. Seems odd to me, but what do I know. I guess I have to choose between the BFG Rugged Trail or go to a 6 ply and get the Wrangler AT-S. Same options I had back in the summer of 2003.

I just put on the Pirelli Scorpion ATR and I am very impressed with them so far. I cant get over how quiet they are compared to my Good Years.

Gotta have the Terra Grapplers again. Great tire. Good look and decent ride.
