Recommendations on good tires

[DonnyP]

Finally going to be ordering my rims and tires this week.

I was set on getting the Atturo Trailblade Xt's but I did some research and heard they don't balance easily at all, they wear out fast and are super noisy. Unless anyone has any first hand experiences with them to say otherwise?

What would be a good tire to go with? Tossing around either going with 33 or 35, each by 12.5.

I need them to be good in the dirt, snow, and rain. I would like a fairly quiet tire as well, nothing that will fling giant rocks at my truck either.

I have the stock good years now and they are horrible! Any little rain and I'm all over the road.

Nitto terra grapplers?
Toyo Open Country A/t's?
Coopers?

I dont' want to spend a fortune on tires wither, looking to keep rims and tires under 2,500

I dont have these, but I would look at the nitto terra grappler xl. It comes in 305/55/20. Lightest “bigger tire” u can buy. It seems like most of the heavier e rated tires are a real pain to balance/keep balanced

might be good to mention if you're sticking with 20's? or going down to 17's? up?

Sorry. Forgot to mention that.

Staying with 20's. 20x10 with -24 offset most likely.

Been in your shoes. Toyo Open Country A/T II Extreme is the way to go. Good performance all around, relatively light, supposed to wear well and they look somewhat aggressive for an A/T tire.

So far so good with my Nitto Ridge Graps. Had em for about 4k miles so far. Road noise is minimal, great in rain, mud, hwy. Haven't gotten em in sand or snow yet

I know that a lot of people don't talk much about them, but I sure have had good luck with Michelin AT2's. They sure work good in wet weather and also in the snow. They seem to last forever and they don't make a lot of noise. I know they are a little expensive, but not a lot more than some of the other ties people talk about. I agree about the Goodyears---there pure JUNK! Anything would be better than them.

I have been very happy with my Continentals (see sig). It is a relatively new design and I wanted something other than Toyos since everybody has them.

I’m a cooper fan ..
Continental owns cooper
Cooper owns Mickey Thompson...

I'm thinking about going with these for my next set of tires. I currently have the Michelin MS2's which have been a good tire but I would like something a little more aggressive looking while still handling well on road.

So far so good with my Goodyear Duratrac's.

Factor in the mileage people including myself get out of them and the fact that they are a good all around tire. (Though I still run designated snow's). Toyo at. There's a reason everybody's running them. I'm running nitto ridge grapplers at the moment because I got a good deal on an in stock set that was hanging around. I might run them again if I get over 60k out of them since they are a nice tire. If I don't I'll go back to the tried and true toyo a/t.

I've never had a bad Cooper tire...plus made in America.

I’ve been running a set of 295/65R20 Nitto Ridge Grapplers and love them. They hook good in sand and the Carolina clay sand mix and ride good on the highway. Haven’t seen any snow yet though.

I got Nitto Grapplers G2 back in May, absolutely happy with them, but my truck is a pavement queen...

Supposedly they're good for 50K miles...

cooper 275/60/20 atws awesome all weather tires

Finally got my Good Year Duratracs installed today. Makes the truck look much better!

Only put a few miles on them and no highway use yet, so can't comment on them too much yet.

I just hope they were mounted and balanced properly and I don't cant any shakes/vibrations.

They were supposedly road force balanced. They were also suppose to do an alignment check but wasn't told anything about it.I might have to stop in there again tomorrow and ask about it.
