Tire questions

1) Where do you guys/gals buy your tires (online/ local shop/ etc.)

2) What size tires do you all prefer. I have the stock 16'' rims (wouldn't mind upgrading) and a 4'' lift I believe.

3) What is your tire of choice.

I'm just looking for some options as to what to go with for my next set of tires.

Right now I'm running 285/75/16's. Thanks again for all the good input and advice

That is a very general question and I am sure you will get a broad array of answers. I like the Nitto Terra Grapplers in a 315 75 16s, but hope to go with new wheels this round and with the Nitto Trail Grapplers in a 35x12.5x17 or 18. Purchase place has yet to be determined.

I can't help you with sizes as i"m a 2wd guy, but you can't beat Discount Tire for price an service. They will price match if you find a better deal online.
