The Nitto mud tires look awesome, don't have any experience but I like them, also the Toyota open country m/t looks awesome if that the style you want to go with.

Yeah I need some bad but looks not most important. Anyone have any suggestions on size and tire models. I can put up with some noise but don't want to loose hearing either. Need to end this madness help me pull the trigger.

I vote for Nitto Trail Graps (these are 295/70R18Es [34.5"x11.5]) I can hear the 6.0L over the tires unless the windows are down.

My thoughts... Keep it cheap so you have money money to go around.. Shop on Craigslist and wait for something good to pop up if you have the time to spare.. You can find $3000 wheel/tire combos that there tires are at 75%+ for $1000..

How many miles do you have on them in those pictures?

I have the Terra grap's in 325 60 18's and there is no road noise at all. I love them.

325/65-18 Nitto Terra Grappler AT Tires these are what i got, fortunate for me i have access to a shop where i can mount and balence myself so there was no extra cost for that. I also got them last year and if i can remember right they were cheaper than what is listed here.
good luck

I have them on stock wheels 285 75 16 and there are quiet compared the komhos I had before these. I do have access to mounting and balancing them so not a big deal if I have to do. Probably do 285 295

I Have nitto dune grapplers on my truck right now. They look good IMO, and are very quiet. They grip very well on the street, in dirt or loose gravel, but are lacking in the mud.

About 20k on the bottom picture, the top one was when they were brand new. They'll be gone by 30-35k probably, either because they'll finally die or because I'll get sick of them. I'm doing Dura Grapplers next and they'd better last longer, but 30k+ out of an M/T is acceptable to me.

35x12.50 on 17x9 -8mm offsets rubbed on one side with a 2" leveling kit on my truck. If you're stock they'll rub.

Backsided the driver's fender liner. With the -18mm you'll be a hair further out, and will be more likely to hit the backside. Plus odds are with the suspension differences I was running more like 3 inches over where you are. You can stuff them in though, just might have to put in an AAL for an extra inch if you hit.
