TOUGH Decisions!

I am getting my 6" Pro Comp Suspension Lift installed shortly and I cannot decide what tires to go with next - after lift!

1) BFG Mud Terrains 37x12.50R18
2) Nitto Mud Grapplers 37x13.50R18
3) Pro COmp XTerrain 3ply 37x13.50R18
4) Toyo Open Country M/T 37x13.50R18
5) Mickey "T" Baja Claw 36x15.50R18 (may be to wide for my 18x9 wheels)

I want a combo of Tread life and Aggressive looks as well!

Blkbuty i'am putting the toyo open country m/t on my truck in 4 weeks but on 20's i have seen all of the tires on real trucks and like the look and fill of the toyos.Everyone in my area is mostly running bfg because of price but i like being different.I hope 37's will fit because on your lift i'am putting a 8" cst lift and thay said the 37x13.5R20 with 5" backspace mite rub at full turn. Write me back with and send picture when your done.
good luck lifted.

I will have a 6" Suspension Lift on top of a 3" Body Lift that I currently have on it! I have a buddy that has the same setup running the 38 Nitto's!

I do really like the Toyo's and will probably go that route! Just wondering on mileage life on the tires!

Try tirerack.com, Blk. Search around and they have a great section of customer reviews of different tires. You can even set it up for direct side by side comparison.

the directional tires (x-terrains and baja claws) will definatly wear out quicker than the mud terrains.. for the best mileage go with bfg but im sure the others arent far behind- so base it on looks and functionality

im sure any way you go your truck will look sweet.

tires

my directional tires, x-terrains, have worn better than any mud terrain I have ever owned and I've tried them all.

Goodyear MT/R is best than all for look agressive and road manner and better wear than other Mud tires..


Goodyear MT/R IS NOT MUD tires..its best for rocky, sand and road.

They do sell either 35 or 37 inches!

Have you looked at the Toyo Open County M/T's. I had the goodyear MTR's before, I found a lot less road noise and a lot better tread life.

Just another option. Any of the tires you have should look good.
