Lol I had 31s on it at one point. They would bottom out on my stock suspension when I'd go trail riding. So I went to 235s.

so the verdict is check out walmart. i checked walmart out and read some reviews about the wrangler authority tires. I like the reviews people are saying that they are great all around tire, great in rain, and snow, and mud, and that they are somewhat quieter than mtrs. so im sold on the tires, last night i did the pricing from several different places walmart being the cheapest, big o tires, les schwab... I figured 15 dollars for each tire to be balanced and mounted, and came up with 326.00 for two tires. good price? or did i figure in too much to mount and install them properly

$5-10 per tire sounds right

size specs? you can get them in damn near any size, i know i had them in stock size on my f150, i got them on my dodge in 33" then my girlfriends stepdad has the maxxs on his ram 2500 in 35" sooo anything you want lol.

these are my stock sts on my f150, they look the same as the ones on my dodge (minus being smaller and less ply) i can get better pictures if need be.

I have cooper discoverys on my F150
and love them for all around grip ,I pull a boat , and have had NO trouble on wet ramps,they are great on wet roads and do real well in snow.
I think they were like $160 a piece with free mount and bal.
they are 31x10.5 x15.
these are the H/T series but I went with ATR on the rear they are a little more agresive than the H/T but still quite on the road. the ATR is about $180 a piece still free mount and bal




ken
