tire opinion please..

I'll try to make this short,, I have purchased some eagle alloy 114's, 18 x 9.5 and I am trying to decide which tires to go with,, the truck is stock. needs to remain quiet, and stay with load carrying capabilities.. I am leaning toward BFG's, AT's 285 x 65 x 18 E rated...

What do you recommend and where is the best place to get them??

Thanks; Jdanruby

Excellent choice of tires! FYI check online for the best pricing you can get and then go to Sears as they promise to beat anyone's price on tires!

Tiresez.com had the best price on Toyo's, Summit Racing was best on BFG's

I got mine for 10% off of the best price I found online for using my Sears card and then paid off the card.

My local SEARS would not beat internet pricing even if they added in the shipping!

Have you looked at Nitto Terra Grapplers lately? They're quiet, wear extremely well and are rated for what you want

BFG A/t KO in 315/70/17 are not E rated, but have the same weight capacity as the stock michelins. I like them a lot. Lower rpms, quiet, smoother than stock.

OOps- saw you're gonna run 18in rims. nevermind

Sears.com sorry.

When I mentioned the price to the local Sears guy he beat their price + 10% off for using my card.

Worked for me

I recommend the toyos, I have been running the at's for that last 2 years, work great, quiet,, and Im not sure how much snow you get, but they are incredible in the snow
