Actually buddy.....
Huck runs 04 XLT wheels which were factory equipped with 265/75/16 D rated wheels. So he wasn't running oversized wheels and the fact that nearly everyone upgrades doesn't mean it should wear that bad. I know he stays on stop of his stuff and it was just a crappy tire. Check some facts

Actually he's not the only one they are a good tire from what I seen on F-150s and other Half ton trucks but I haven't seen them hold up well on a couple of PSDs the weight seems to make them wear more where they are a softer tire now this was a couple of years ago maybe they changed them recently. I am running 285 LTX Michelins just because I got a good deal in them but I will probably buy BFGs back might be more expensive as long as you don't do massive burn outs with them they do pretty good.not sure what this is all about, buddy, but whatever. seriously though, no need to be getting any panties in a wad about. i merely stated that every situation is unique and that one shouldn't be implying that all terra grapplers were crap. i think you misinterpreted my posts, cause there was no ill will. where's the pass me the beer icon when you need it.

Well, I finally did it. For reasons such as, (money) I went with 18" diamo wheels, and the grappler AT's which were by far the cheapest. I can always buy something else next time around. Thank you for all your ideas. I'll post pics as soon as they come in (3 days)

295/75-16s on stock rims. Early 99 CCSb 4wd. I had no stability issues towing our 31' airstream this summer. They are quiet and excellent in the mud. We'll see what a New England winter does to them. $660 shipped from ebay. Ordered them on a friday. Arrived on tuesday. I was impressed.

I'm looking at getting Dunlop Radial Rover M/T Maxx Tractions. They are E rated commercial grade tires for light trucks and have gotten good review on tire rack. I know they say mud terrain but its more of an A/T tread so its not too aggressive. They are priced pretty decently too so I'm looking at getting them in 305/70R16. I think that should be big enough for me.
