Tire Comparison??
I am looking to buy some new tires. I want to get 325/60R18s. I am looking at the Nitto, Toyo, and Mickey Thomson. I top two choices are Nitto and Mickey. My brother and a friend have the Nitto's and they seem to ride nice. I like the Mickey's though as well.
What is everyone's opinions though on these 2 tires? Which do you prefer and why?
I do a lot of highway driving as well as my share of fun in the dirt. Right now I have Goodyears (came with truck) and when there is any slick mud, the tread just fills up and its becomes a slick tire. Can't have that because I always have issues when pulling 4 4 wheelers and can't get stuck around people that have chevy's and dodges.
Thanks.

Take a look at what Cooper offers in this size as well. You'd probably want the Discoverer STT.

I have looked at Cooper tires but they don't make any of the sizes that I want. I want to have at least a 33" tire. And from what I have read, The Discoverer STT only come in 2 sizes for 18" wheels. 35's and roughly 32".
Any other suggestions?

I already have American Eagle 178's on my truck. I have just been waiting to get tires so that the ones I have now would die first. But I have 45K miles on my truck and the tires still have like half tread life. And I'm ready for a good agressive tire.
I am going to put a 2" leveling kit on my truck. I have known people who have done the 2.5" kit and they have no problems. I am sticking with the 2" so because I am hoping that there will still be some slope to the truck so that when I pull a trailer my front end isn't sky high.
