Help me decide on tires :)

I'm getting new wheels soon and now I need tires. So I cant decode between Firestone Destination M/T 35x12.50/18 OR Nitto Terra Grappler 35x12.50/18. Also will these fricken things fit under my truck? lol

Well I can't confirm this with Firestone but I know Nitto does not make that tire for the Terra's. I could not find where Firestone made it either but I didn't look real long. If you want a 35" and only have the 2.5 leveling kit then look into the 295/70/18's. These would be close to the same size and not require any trimming or very minor trimming.

NITTOS FTW!!!! I have absolutely loved all the sets I have had, and IMHO they look better than almost all other tires.

Toyo's are the way to go. Absolutely love them as do my friends. If you want something aggressive go with the M/T or if you want the all terrain go with their A/T. I personally do not like the look of the nittos and they do not last long from my experienc. I would not recommend 35's because you will have to trim a decent amount; better off with a 33.

I trimmed nothing with my 295s which are very close to 35s and I they are on stock rims.

35x12.5's should clear with a 2.5 leveling kit and no trimming. I have a 2.5 rancho strut upgrade and 35x12.5 on 18's and they clear I have no trimming, but it do have an aftermarket bumper. Even then the only place I could see needing trimming would be the lower corner of the valance.
