My factory tires are finally getting thin enough I can justify new shoes for the truck... and with Labor Day sales coming up, I've been doing a bunch of research into which tire and what tire size I want to go with.
I think I've settled on 265/65/18 (keeping the factory wheels) for the size - it's just a touch larger than factory, but I've got the front leveled so I should not have any rubbing or need to remove crash bars etc. These are just a hair smaller than 32".
So with size decided - now I have to choose which tire I want. I had more or less decided on the Wildpeaks based on what I've read on this forum from other Ranger owners, but my local Discount Tire has the Mickey Thompsons for the exact same price. These appear to be the new kid on the block, and I can't find much in the way of actual test/reviews of them, particularly how they stack up against the Wildpeaks...but all the info I can find on them has been very, very positive.
Does anyone here have the Mickey Thompsons on their truck? How do you like them?
I'm concerned about road noise - both tires appear to be fantastic performers off road, but I want something well-mannered on-road as well.
Anyone have a strong opinion on the Wildpeaks vs. the Mickey Thompsons?
