I need some new tires for my D1. Would you guys chime in with recommendations on brands and sizes? My truck is lifted it that matters.

I for one think the new General Grabber ATX is a great looking and reliable tire. I have the AT2’s on mine and love them. Kind of has that older BFG AT tread look that they had before making it all gnarly looking. I wanted something that looked the part of the older D1. Not a crazy tread pattern with crazy sidewalls. Something clean. Now, my D1 is bone stock and I don’t off-road it. To each his own. What is your intended use of your truck?

This is the most important question. Next would be how much lift? Sizes vary greatly from 1.5-5" of lift

It's only lifted a minimal amount....the driveshafts are still mostly in the yokes. I have heard that keeping the stock circumference and getting a narrower tire is a good option, as the tire is better in snow and has less rolling resistance.

i have Genera Grabbers AT2 255/60 R18, and they fit well, drive well, and I’m happy with them. The 255/60 is roughly 1” taller than the standard 255/55. Watch your fit on spare tire carrier...I have roughly 1/3” inch clearance from bumper, but no problems closing rear hatch of figment of wheel.

I have BFG AT ko2's 32"
(have not re-geared yet) - truck is a pig with bigger tires
I know this is unpopular but I am not really happy with the AT's, I feel like Im on ice skates in the rain - it seems like the sidewalls are too stiff and dont flex like the older (just) AT - JMO
