Tire Survey

Those BFGs look great on your truck! Did you do any suspension mods... lift/level?

Thanks!

I love near the Blue ridge, so we use logging/fire roads some. No hard off reading.

We see snow regularly here in West central Virginia along with hilly terrain.

I also tow close to max capacity quite a bit.

I'd double check the load rating just to be safe but in that case I would highly recommend the falkens. In my and my friends experience K02's are not a good option, all due respect to those who disagree but they wear terribly and quite quickly as well and while they do perform generally well offroad (albeit for a short period) they are definitely overkill, also they perform quite badly in the rain.

So I went with 35's so my ranger tire choice doesn't really help but I can speak quite highly of the falken wildpeak at3w's. Biggest question is do you want/need at's if not a good all season would be ideal though I know little to nothing about those.

I'm just over here looking at my 33s thinking.... I could have gone to 35s?! What magic is this?

Well if you don't mind doing a 3.5 inch lift, fully removing the crash bars (angle grinder) and getting different wheels then yeah! Basically I had a bronco customer who ordered a badlands sasquatch which gives you the upgraded suspension wheels and tires, and he promptly replaced the suspension wheels and tires.... So dumb, but anyway I got a hell of a deal on a full set of five with sensors the whole shebang, I was leveled and they technically fit, but umm turning was a bit of an issue as was travel. So I immediately got the lift kit I ordered and the new shocks I ordered put on and now she drives brilliantly. The thing is a beast offroad too, I have to do either some really really stupid crap or go somewhere super sketchy to get stuck. Now Tremors are a bit of a different setup but yeah if you don't mind some cutting you can run 315 70 r17's. Others on here have done the same but not many of us.

Oh also I had to take off the wind thingy under the front bumper, though again tremors are different but with how yours is positioned it would rub under articulation most likely, also turning.

I'm running Goodyear Duratracs. Absolutely unbelievable offroad, but the gas mileage suffers a bit and so does your pep when you step on the peddle.

Thanks for the responses guys. Looks like most of them are in the $275-$300 range anyway. I've got experience with the Toyos and a friend has General Grabbers he likes, but they don't come in Ranger size. I'll look over the Falkens. I've never had good luck with BFG of any model.

The new Cooper Road & Trail looks interesting too, good wet weather and light off roading. I think they're going to be my next purchase

So a good general All-Terrain tire that has good raring in snow since you deal with snow regularly. Got it.

In the stock size.there.isnt a whole lot available. If you go one size up to a 265/65-18(it will fit without modifications) you get more options. One I would recommend in that size is the Firestone Destination AT2. It is a good All-Terrain that isn't too heavy duty and is 3 peak rated. They also have a good mileage warranty. If you get them at your local Firestone Auto Care it will be much easier to get the warranty on the tires and you can get the "Lifetime Alignment" as well. That is the route I recommend.

Darn, this tire looks intriguing.

Kind of the similar to the BFG Trail-Terrain, and WIldpeak A/T Trail (which isn't available in Ranger sizes, but is popular with the Subaru crowd).

I didn't realize cooper was made by Goodyear. Interesting looking tire, definitely on the list.

This is what I have: Cooper Discoverer AT3 XLT LT265/70R-18 LR-E

you may want to check with the Discount Tire guys here in the vendor forum, if you have one near you. I contacted them, they arranged everything, and the local shop contacted me to arrange the install. And I got a good price.

I got the suredrive all terrains from firestone complete auto care. Im pretty sure they are rebranded kumhos. I run the factory 18"s on my lariat. Very happy with the tire. Good traction on boat ramps and in the fields here on the farm. And the price is outstanding like 150 per tire. 3 peak rated and a great tire warranty.
