I originally bought 17in wheels and had a hard time finding a tire to make load rating for my 3500. Nitto recons were one my buddy suggested and hated them since I installed them. Pulled out of the car wash earlier this week tires a bit wet and could not get traction. Winter time is coming sooner than later and i have a few jobs over mountain passes snow flake tires are a must. Seeing how I could not find a snowflake tire in a 17in wheels I was forced to go to a 18in wheel. I Went with fuel vector 18x9 20mm offset and Toyo AT3 35x12.5 F load rating. So far they ride a lot better than the nitto recons on 17in wheels and I am sure traction won't be a issue anymore. If anyone close to oregon want a decent set of wheels and ok tires let me know.
