Default Time for Tires

Hey everyone, it has become the time for new tires. I have 18" rims and I am looking to put tires on that will actually fill the wheel wells. I currently have 255/55/18 on and they just look sad. Doesn't help the look of my money sucking little girl. Any suggestions of tire size that will help me get a more aggressive look.

You should(SHOULD) be able to run some 265/65 all terrain tires. It would probably depend on how much your suspension is sagging. The BFG tk/o's are pretty aggressive for a reasonable price. General Grabber AT 2's are good as well.

Have you thought about lifting the truck or just tires?

I have thought about a lift. Looked at a 3" Terrafirma lift, and I may do that. If I dont lift though I want to know what size tires to go after

Yokohama Geolander AT/S 265/60-18s Fill them nicely and don't rub at all. The only issue is the spare. You will need to flip the hanger. I posted pics in the D2 section. They are the same width but 30.5" instead of the 28.7" of the 255/55-18.

Any larger and you will be trimming the flaps.

I did the same tires and size. Zero rub, great tire, excellent price. I run them mostly on the road, but had them in trails a few times so far. Just did a 500 mile road trip in flooding rain last week and super in the water. This is a ski rig for me, so I wanted them as they look great in the snow. Nothing but love for these tires so far, especially for the price!

You can't beat the price on these Things, and they are a 50k tire. I really like them so far. Taking them on the beach Tuesday so I'll have a sand report ;-)
