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.

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