tire question
what is the best set of tires that i can get. i am looking for 34 or 35 inch tires to go on my stock 16 inch rims. i am looking for a tire that will last long and something with a pretty aggresive tread pattern, and with a E load rating.

I have firestone destination M/Ts now and will probably get the same tire unless someone can point me in the direction of something a little better and a little bigger.

thanks for the help guys,
Matt

Toyo MT is the heavily favored aggressive load E tire on this site.

35 is pretty big to put on a stock rim though, unless it is a narrow tire.

I just installed a set of Toyo Open Country M/Ts on my truck.

LT315/75 R16s on 10" rims. Load range E.

Great tire. A little noisy but not too bad. Here's a review with ratings.

yeah plus the E rated tires are much more durable and can take more abuse than tires that are rated for less.
