Best tires for 2019 ranger 4x4 lariat. Time for a new set. Also getting time for front struts, go with oem or is there a better brand?

It came stock with hankook dynapro atm 265/60r18 110t. I have 85k on them and it's time to replace. Did you go with the same tires or is there a better option? Thinking about getting a little bigger tire.?‍

What's the biggest tire I cam get on the 18 inch rims?

You got 85K on the OE tires?!?!? I didn't make it to 40K. Then I got Michelin AT at a BJ's here in CT. They're awesome.

I got 60K from my OEMs. Had another 5-10K tread life remaining but winter was coming and I needed a decent snow tire. From Nov - April, I drive 6 miles one way on 100% snow covered/packed road just to get to the highway which is sometimes 100% snow covered. I replaced the OEMs with the same sized VREDESTEIN PINZA AT. Was a little concerned when purchasing because these tires are made in India and have never bought tires made there, nor has anyone I know. About 4.5K on them now.

Results: Okay wear rating at 650. Snow rated, but not triple peak. Impressive in snow. Can't speak to mud yet. No problem driving through 8" of new snow (Wyoming snow has very little moisture and is light and fluffy. Moisture laden heavy snow will be different) Super quiet. Many here have replaced their shocks due to handling issues. These tires have notably stiffer sidewalls and much of that handling issue is gone or minimized. Don't feel the need to replace the shocks. BUT ... they do hit bumps and potholes much harder than the OEM. I'm used to it now, but was initially surprised. I didn't compare exact diameter, but these are likely slightly larger (old OEM vs new, full-tread). Down side of that (and tire construction) has resulted in a 1-2MPG loss of mileage. Tires are beginning to show the initial signs of wear. Have no idea about expected miles but I'll likely sell the truck before that happens. At the moment I would buy them again.

265/65/18 or 255/70/18 is about the biggest you can go with factory suspension and wheels.

Something to consider when making a post about tires is to actually put the word “tires” in the title.
