Need Help. Aggressive looking road tire

I need an aggressive looking tire, but I only drive on the road(mostly highway). So I don't want to give up alot of handeling or road noise. Im thinking about a 285 or 33. Thanks in advance. All help would be appreciated.

What kind of truck do you have, i.e., model year, 4x4 or 4x2? I had 285/65 18 BFG AT/KO's on and thought they were great. Looked good, handled good, and got a ton of life out of them. I got 60,000 plus out of them andwhen I took them off and they were still ok. I have a 2004 NBS 4x4. The only "drawback" of them is the price. They are expensive but I think it's worth it.

I'd suggest Toyo AT's, Nitto Terra Grapplers, BFG AT KO's, Bridgestone Dueler AT's, Pro Comp Xtreme AT's, Mickey THompson ATZ's or **** Cepek FC II's.

The 285 is more like a 11.5" wide tire and will fit your factory wheels better.
