My brother runs buckshot mudders on his truck. They lasted a good while and cleaned well in the mud. I like the look of the new duelers but don't have any experience with it. Personally id buy 20" rockstars and run nitto grapplers!

buckshots = mud terrain

Mud grapplers = mud terrain

Rockstars = use to be very cool, but now where i live every douche around has them.

Nittos suck ***! Hold on while I try to find the tires I have on my stupid duty. They're prety damn awesome.


edit:
Here's what I run on the stupid duty http://fourwheeler.automotive.com/88...est/index.html

Great all around tire, AWESOME in the snow (though that doesn't matter much for you), have worn well so far (I only got about 20k out of my nittos, POS!), not too loud on the road, best performing a/t I've had off the road, very stable with the a load on them or with the trailer (got the 10ply, e load range), just an all around great tire. Dad is planning on putting them on all of his trucks too once plow season gets here (I had to pull his v10 through 3 ft of snow with a plow on it, up hill last year because his tires sucked so much he couldn't get up our driveway and with these tires on my truck it was like i wasn't even pulling anything).



Also, the price on these was very reasonable compared to the other tires in it's class/size. I think it was somewhere around 150/each, where all the other ones were 180++.

Falken Wildpeak A/Ts.

I run these on my 94. Seem to be a good tire so far. Haven't had them all that long, but they seem to do farly well so far. Should last a wile too, it has a mileage rating of 50,000 miles. Usually a light truck tire doesn't have a mileage rating. The one on the left. Compared to a 33/12.50R15

Normally I'd agree with you, but I haven't heard anything bad about them though..

I got them at my local western auto too. Again, best a/t I've ever had and longest lasting. Highly recommended!

+1 for Nittos bringing teh suckage.

+1 for Kirby not knowing what the hell hes talking about but still posting a reply anyway.



I loved the Dick Cepek FCIIs I ran on my SD but they arent the cheapest tire. I did get 70-75k out of them though and they rode great.

$250ish each for 315s. I paid about the same for 3 Nittos but got the 4th for free with some kind of special they had a few years back.

anyone know the stock wheel width? I'm trying to figure out if 285's will be an issue.
