Default rims/tires

my current tires, nitto trail grapplers are just about done with and i am wanting to switch to a 17 in rims because tires are to expensive with 20s.as and some sort of all terrain. i was wonder what combo should i go with, my truck is all black including bumpers any pics would be great.

thanks!

I have 17 inch rims and wrangler AT/S 265/70/17 I love the tires. I have an open diff. And 2wd and go mudding with my buddies and pull them out when they get stuck.

Kind of an unrelated question, but how many miles did you get out of your trail grapplers? I got some pretty recently and I just wanna know what kind of life I can expect from them.

The price of the Nitto's that seem so popular, at least for those that buy them and let us know they do, the nitto's to me are so cost prohibitive........sorry to hear you have to buy any replacement tire as they are not inexpensive but replacing them with a more reasonable price tire. Add to this thread what you buy for tires.
