I just drove 300 miles round trip to pick up these Milanni Ambrosia 331's for $600. They are in great condition and only have 5K on them. (so he said) Now is where you fabulous people come in. I live in suburban Seattle and it rains juuuuust a lil bit here. lol. So what rubber should I put on my new chrome 18 x 8.5's? money not really an issue. I want the most aggressive looking tire with the most traction possible. I do not have a leveling kit yet, but I figure I better buy one if I want my truck to reach it's potential!

As always, your help and wisdom is appreciated,

If you want an AT, I'd suggest a 325/60-18 Pro Comp Xtreme AT.

 

And why that tire wandell? Where's the best place to find them?

 

It is a great looking all terrain that has gotten really good reviews from a lot of people. Do a google search to find prices and call around locally as well and just see where the best prices are.

 

I thought for rain you would want a slimmer tire......? No?

 

For snow you definitely want a narrow tire. I'm not sure if the same theory applies to rain, but I suppose it makes sense. The Extreme A/Ts are a great looking tire, though. Time for some Googling.

 

After a lil reseach and calling some friends in high/low places, I ended up going with the 285/65/18 Nitto Terra Grapplers for $850. My buddy that owns millenium autos said he's been puttin the TG's on cars and trucks and has recieved nothing but good feedback. They are being mounted and balanced, and slapped on my baby tomorrow at 2PM. I've read alot of things on here about the tread life. I brought it up to him and he said it's all about the way you drive. Some get more, some get less.

Thoughts, opinions?

 

I've heard good things about the terra grapplers

 

The Nitto's are a great choice. The reson I recommmended the Pro Comps is you said you wanted the most aggressive looking tire and that is the Pro Comps.

 

And they did look great! They were a lil more expensive and weren't as accessible as the Nitto's that my buddy worked a deal on. Thanks Wandell, your a help as always. I won't have to lift the front end with the 285/65/18 on aftermarket 18x8.5's? will I?

 

BFG ATs!! Great performance, ride well in rain, on road, snow, in mud, and you will get lots of miles out of them. I personally think they look damn aggressive too.

 

Bridgestone Dueler A/T Revo in 265. Thinner is better for the rain. The BStones have a patented rubber compound that makes their tires MUCH better in the rain than just about anything else. Tested and proven time and time again here. Plus the aggressive tread design makes them great for hydroplane resistance. I have been in driving rain going over 80 in a set I had with no floating whatsoever.

Give me a call if you would like to get into a set.

 

Patented SOFT rubber compound. That's why they're great in the snow, and that's also why they wear very quickly.

 

Then I definatley do not want those!
