What tire size to run on 18"?
We got 5 Mondial 18" wheels to use on our new D2. We have a 2" Terra lift and currently running 255/65R16.
What size is everyone running? It will be used for weekend traveling, camping and light off-roading. Thanks!

Mine work out to about 33 x 11.5, I think. They are TOO BIG. They make my truck SLOW, though to the contrary they make me drive FAST because at 80 mph my speedometer shows about 68 mph, getting me a TICKET. Notably, these tires required spacers to avoid rubbing.
However, 33s look good on 18s. I wouldn't go smaller than 32 on an 18.
Waiting patiently for them to wear out.
However, I will say that I CANNOT get stuck in mud with them. I've tried. There is no bottom to the mud (clay) where I live, so skinnies wouldn't fare better. I will also say that they are not that great with water in the road at highway speed; a combination of byzantine tread and width, I assume.
My next set will be skinny, East Texas quagmire be damned.
