mallardslayer07 · Oct 30, 2011

are you going to look for more of an AT tire or a MT?

Agjake11 · Oct 30, 2011

needs an mt

DEEZUZ · Oct 30, 2011

I think it needs a 20 inch rim to match

Jeff@Spartan · Oct 30, 2011

37's

Nitto's, Toyo's, or Mickey Thompson's

i am running the toyo open country A/Ts, quiet on the highway and seem to do great in the rain/snow/etc

TheSmokinStroke2002 · Oct 30, 2011

id recommend toyo MT's

mallardslayer07 · Oct 30, 2011

I prefer MT's.

CT- I would love to have 20's haha! Next time you have a set of 20x12 Fuel octanes for free laying around with a good set of mud terrains send em my way haha.

I kinda was thinking a 35x13.50 is what i was kinda thinking......something like that but I like Toyo's, Nittos, but just wanted to see what other options you guys might come up with.

08Stroker250- You think i need to go to 37's? I would love the look but am afraid to sacrifice power.

mallardslayer07 · Oct 30, 2011

Anybody wanna post pictures with their 6.5" to 7" lift with 35's or 37's that would be extremely helpful.

DEEZUZ · Oct 30, 2011

I think 35's are too small.... they just barely look good on my truck

mallardslayer07 · Oct 30, 2011

Ok then what about a 315/70 from Toyo which they say is a 36x13.00???

Jeff@Spartan · Oct 30, 2011

That would be a good size.

37x13.5R20 ProComp Xtreme AT. I think the lift is 6" (on the truck when I got it)

cw96stroker · Oct 30, 2011

I was just about to mention procomp Xtreme to you Chris, they make a 325/65 that comes out to nearly 35in tall and almost 13in wide off by just a couple of tenths on both. Not sure what you think of that tread though.

37x13.50x17 Toyo M/T w/ 6.5" of lift

mallardslayer07 · Oct 30, 2011

Does this setup rub pretty bad or does it clear well even when offroading?

squeak12 · Oct 30, 2011

It never rubbed anywhere except on the leafs at full turn. I didn't do much offroad, but the one time I had it in the mud there were no issues. I wouldn't put anything smaller than a 37" tire on a 6.5" lift.
