Default Help with tires.....I have no clue.

Ok I did a search but I really don't know what I am looking for so I really need some help. Ok I need to start spending some money on my truck so I won't get bored with it. I am starting with rims and tires and I like the truck look. You know ruff so I want to stay with 17" or go to 18's. Either way I want some tires like in this picture below:



Love this look!!!

Ok my issue is I don't have the first clue what sizes outside of the inner diameter I am looking for. If anyone can help with some suggestions I would really appreciate it(images also if you have).

Thanks.

I had read the first one but still did not know if the tire would look aggressive. The second link helped a lot because I can see what others did. I guess ultimately I will have to go in to discount to see the tire before I buy it or search the web first. Thanks.

I have a bubble in one tire and fix a flat in another so I really need to make a decision.

One of the most popular ones right now, and my personal favorite is the BF Goodrich All Terrain T/A KO2.

Yes, you need to, and very, very soon!

Don't forget to put function into the equasion, as well as looks. What type of roads do you drive? The tires in your pic are indeed nice and aggressive looking, but I can wager a guess that they will produce some noise on normal roads. Is that acceptable to you?

Very important advice to consider...I just bought some Fierce Attitude MTZ 285/70/17's last spring and boy do they HUUUMMMMM.......I love the tires but I believe I'm switching back to an all-terrain for my next set....the mud tires look aggressive but for the amount of off-roading I do it's not a necessity. Choose carefully, all-terrains will save you some cash over mud-terrain tires.
