Picking the right tire
Picking the right tire
I've got a 1999 Dodge Diesel 2500 4x4 quad cab, long bed. Currently running 305/70R16's BFG A/T's - no lift. They've been a good tire, but now it is time for some new ones. I've done a pile of searches on tires and what everyone is running and after exhausting the list thought I would post up.
So what's the best tire in your opinion for this truck. I was looking at BFG's again or maybe the new Goodyear Wranglers with the silent armor. I'm no tire expert so I was also trying to figure out if I should go with a different size. I want an aggressive looking tire that does well on the road and fills up the wheel wells. I'm tempted to go with exactly what I have on now because they look good, ride good, don't rub, and I've gotten almost 50k out of them. Now that it is time to make a decision though I'm wondering if I could do better......
