I'm looking for a set of tires to replace my stock tires. I just got a bolt through my LF and the other 3 look like they are due.

I don't want to cut my fender well but I definately want something bigger then stock... AND I'm on a budget.

I may tow 4 times a year my 4000 lbs boat all of 50 miles. That's it. Otherwise it's my daily driver - to and from work - etc..

:help:

Still need a bit of information to make a recommendation. Will you use your truck offroad or do you live in an area with snow and ice. How important is ride/tread life to you etc? How big are you wanting to go, do you want to keep the stock rims(i'm guessing yes if you are on a budget)? Give some more data and we'll try to help out.

Nitto terra grappler 265/75/16 in D or E ratings, around $115 now

I live in NJ - snow and ice.. No off-road. I want to keep stock rims. Tread life is important but I guess this is where the trade off comes in.. So I'm willing to sacrafice some tread life.. But I hope these tires will last me at least a couple of years / 30K miles. I want to go as big as possible without major surgery to my fender well area. Minor surgery is okay :)

Thanks..
Denis

I Have Just Taken These Tires And Wheels Off Of My 2004 2500hd And Will Sell Them For $600 Plus Freight. They Are 33x12.50 X 16 Interco Trxus Mudders. They Ride Real Good, Are Balanced And Have Less Than 1000 Miles On Them. Just Pm Me If You Are Interested OR MY EMAIL ADDRESS IS: jrjr@wcc.net. I Will Accept Paypal, Money Order Or Cashiers Check For Them. Photos Are Attached.

Go with the 285's, that's what I have. Crank up the torsion bars 1 1/2-2", tie back the e-brake cable & inner fender wheels. Might have to trim alittle off of the front valance.

Thanks guys..

LarryJewell - thanks for the offer but I'm going to buy today and get installed by tomorrow.

Any 285's in particular to recommend?

Nitto terra grappler awesome traction & good price, but expect only 30k out of them.

Go with BF Goodrich All-Terrains 285-75-16

Good all around tires, especially for your use. Personally im not a big fan of the Nitto Terra Grappler, especially for a truck that will see the street most of the time. But that's just my opinion. Can't go wrong with the BFG's.

I'd say that the BFG all terrains would be right up your alley with the conditions you described. The 285 is a stretch for the stock rim, but it should be okay.

BFG AT's are a great choice as well as the Yokohama Geolander AT's I have on my truck. My tires are siped and they were great in the winter going up the passes to ski.

What is "siped"?

And are these the BFG's?

This is a explanation of siping http://www.can4x4.com/articles/siping.html

And yes those BFG's you found are the ones. (Those are basically siped from the factory)

Thanks for the link WAskier - great explanation on siping.

Now it's time to get prices on the BFG's.

Thanks to all!

So far $200/tire is the best I've found locally - is this right? I was hoping for something a little less expensive.

That seems a little high, the tirerack has the 285/75-r16 for $167/tire. The discount tire website has them for $184/tire.
