Picking out my new tires.

[Riff Raff]

I know there are several other tire threads, but I wanted my own.

Its a little ways away (about 4 months) but I am going to get new tires that need to meet the following requirements.

*On/Off-Road
*All Season
*Great Snow/Ice traction
*Quiet

I am generally more on-road than off, but I want to have no problems when we get an Ohio blizzard. Also, the occasional off-road need (few and far between).

My initial thoughts were for the BFG All Terrains, but my current tires are 265/60/R18 and they don't make them in that size. I either need to go with 265/65/18 or something else. Would I even notice the 65 vs. 60?

JAMAS--- Ok, let's take a look at your data requirements:

o On/Off Road + All Season = A/T Tread Design.
o Great Snow/Ice Traction = Snowflake/Mountain Rated.
o Quiet.
o Lightweight to maintain VX spirited performance.
o Make the VX look mean & aggressive.
o Long Lasting.
o Increased ground clearance.
o High Quality.
o Will fit WITHOUT "lifting".

Based upon the above requirements; there is only two(2) tires that meet the criteria, they are:

GENERAL - Grabber AT2 in P275/65R18 (32" O.D./44 lbs) This tire is also pre-pinned for "studs" (if desired).
PRO-COMP - All Terrain in P285/60R18 (31.3" O.D./43 lbs) This tire is close in O.D. to your current tires.

The above two(2) tires are BFG A/T "clones", and you will absolutely love the tread patterns of both. Check-out the GENERAL's at www.TireRack.com and check-out the PRO-COMP's at www.4WheelParts.com and www.TruckAddOns.com
