Default 18'' tires

Looking to see what the largest size 18'' tire I can fit on my 01 D2 without having any rubbing problems. Currently I have 255/55/18 .Probably putting on mastercraft courser at's.But open to any opinions on tires.Just got 10'' of snow and the old hoops were like banana peels!

18" tires stink, there are not that many decent choices. The mastercraft coursers are good tires and what I have on my truck. Not sure how large you can go with the 18" rims. You have a lift?

you can go 255/60/18 stock. a lot of people go 275/65/18 or 285/60/18 with a 2" lift. treadepot.com has the cooper zeon ltz in a 285/60/18 for only $120

No lift yet but Im thinking about getting one in the spring and yes 18'' wheels suck as far as tire sizes and prices go but I really love my hurricanes so Id like to keep them.What courseres are you running and how are they for all year round?

The General Graber AT2 also comes in a 18" size and is a good A/T and not that much money.

I have the snow tires on year round, I don't remember the exact model name and its too cold to go look right now. They are a little loud but are very grippy year round.

X2 on the Grabbers. I have them in 255/60 and love them!
No rubbing, quiet for an A/t tire, great preformance off road, good in the snow.
Let me know if you have any questions about them.
