Best Tires

So my truck is getting close to running so now and I'm wanting to pull off the Super Swampers this truck has seen the last of it's heavy mudding days but I still want a mud tread for some fun now and then

already picked out the tires I'm looking at the new Firestone Destination MT's but now what I need to pick is the size of the tire right now I have 35's but I've been thinking about going to 36's this is going to be used as a tow/haul/work truck do you guy's think 36's are a good idea or just stay with the 35's?....also I think I have 3.55 gears (from what I can see on the tab) in the back if I do this do I need 4.10?

there wont be a noticable difference between 35's and 36's. Going huge like to 38-44 you would probaby notice. If the 36's fit, i would get them. I kept mine around the 33 range but all in good time i will raise it up and put some big feet under it.

Sucks....just found out I need to get new rims the rims I have now are 16.5 and I can't find any 16.5 tires (without getting more super swampers!) to fit the rim!

But I got my sizes I'm going with either a 315/75R16 or a 325/80R16.....just need to get some rim prices now...gah never ending.

It's hard to pick a tire....I've seen Firestone destination MT's, Goodyear wrangler MT's, Mastercraft courser MT's, BFG MT's.....just want a nice MT with a load rating of E.
