Tires
Getting close to having to replace the Stock Firestone LT245's I have a 4wd and these tires look reall dinky, especially with a flatbead. I'd like to get some biger and a little wider tires. What's a good size to go with? Brand? I'd like something that is a little aggressive tread, but still not real loud. Don't want something huge, but a tire that will fill up the wheel well more. Not interested in a lift kit either, as I have a gooseneck trailer..
Any suggestions/pictures?

If you don't want to go too big, 285's are a very common oversized tire, and are readily available from all manufacturers. I personally like my tires a little bigger, so I have 35's, but that's me. 
Here is a link to a place with great prices. Even after paying for shipping, I can't touch their prices locally, and there are a lot of places to buy tires in Seattle.
I hope this helps.

That place is incredible. The tires on my truck right now list for $175 each. Nebraska Tire sells the same tire for $65. Once you add on shipping @ $15 per tire, that's still less than 1/2 the price in Seattle.
