Tire Talk

The only real complaint would be when coming to a stop you can "feel" the lugs which feels to me like driveline vibration but isn't.

thanks for the feedback- i'm feeling the same thing and I thought it was my driveshaft!

I think the MTR's are quieter and smoother... kinda disappointed on-road. Hope it makes up for it off-road.

33 inches is the sweet spot with the standard OME lifts, and it won't affect your acceleration enough to worry about gearing.

You could fit 295/75R16's, which are a wee bit over 33 inches. Not many tire makers do this size. You can BFG All Terrains in this size, as well as the Nitto Terra Grappler.

I'm running 295/75R16 Terra Grapplers. I have run the BFG's on previous vehicles, and I feel confident saying that the Terra Grapplers are vastly superior in terms of on-road handling and snowy roads. They won't last as long as the BFGs, however.

Everyone here has great suggestions, if you want more you can go to

You can get millions (maybe thousands) of driven miles worth of opinions. On tirerack.com they have a comparison feature where you can compare several different tires of a given size in a bunch of different aspects, i.e. snow, road noise, durability, etc. That feature was pretty helpful when I was looking.

After thinking about it for some time, I went with Bridgestone Duelers AT Revos. They're great. They're awesome offroad (for an AT tire) and on the road I couldn't ask for a better tire. They're quiet on the asphalt, good in the rain and pretty good from what I can tell in the snow (although I only have 20-30 miles in the snow) and they last. My 2 cents worth. Good luck.
