Why are you going to get M/Ts on your 2wd, if your really going to use your truck offroad?

 

Because my dad got cheap and wouldn't buy me 4wd so I must make up for his cheapness.

 

Have you checked out Cooper Discovers STT they are an excellence tire and offer a fairly radical tread. Just do a web search for pics. I had 265 75R16 mounted on my truck around $600. That's like $150 a tire.

 

Sweet!

 

I understand that but thats not my point.

Since your truck is a 2wd, I'd highly recomend a GOOD A/T tire because a M/T is just going to cause you to dig yourself a hole.

 

go with the buckshot maxxis produces some good tires that is what I have they are damn good pair of tires. I think mine are 8 ply. There has never been anything that I won't drive over I have not came across a board of nails, maybe I have and I didn't notice but they take a beating. One time I had a fire hydrant like half an inch in the tire, the other time i was pulling next to a dumpster and snagged the bar to close it and it went into my tire over an inch. I backed up and it didn't puncture it. You really want something that can take a beating cuz you never know what you will come across in a pit of mud; roots, bottles, glass, screws, nails, boards, etc. I have never been stuck since I have had them been pretty close though.... They are not loud at all either. I kind of wish they were loud they produce a slight hum, not to bad in the rain. I currently have screw in my right front one that I need to take to discount. Tires are a lot more expensive for bigger rims in case you didn't know, that can be a big factor so you might consider 15"

EDIT: can you put a locker or something in the back? One of my friend did something to his 2wd truck and he could keep up. I rarely actually use 4wd, it is more fun to slip, slide, and get stuck

 

That'd be great but you can't fit anything less than a 18" wheel and some 17" wheels including the stock 17" wheels of course.

 

so thump is this cuz of the discs that we can't have anything smaller then a 17" the guy at discount was trying to sell me 15"

 

Yeah anything smaller than than 17" rim won't fit.. Kumho Road Venture AT KL-78
I'm thinking about that..

 

I'd go with the BFG A/T KO, Nitto Terra Grappler, or the Toyo Open Country A/T. I've had the BFG A/T KOs and the Nitto Terra Grapplers, they both are very good tires. The Toyo is essentially the same tire as the Nitto.

The calipers won't clear.

 

Out of those tires what are the cheapest?

 

I paid $800 for my 325/60/18 Nitto Terra Grapplers. Which equal a 33x13x18 so for your size it should be a little bit cheaper. I'd contact Discount Tire.

 

Dont know about your area but Kumho A/T in 285/75/17 run about $120 a piece here.

Buckshots and Mud Brutes in 285/75/17 around $150

 

Good GOD! This is the one thing I HATE about trucks.. gotta have big tires.. but if there good! thanks!

 

What would be a GOOD AT? like a BFG AT? Or what? Thanks for the help man.. Greatly appreciated!
