Really? Reeeeeeally? I never have understood medium profile tires on 20's on a 4wd truck...not to mention the 20's are home-diggity-dog rims that the owner is so **** retentive about keeping clean (of course with bead lockers) and precision parking their "whip" as to not scrape their $4,000 rims against the curb...only to have their girlfriend do it for them. Oh, and turn your three 18" subwoofers up a little more...the high schoolers and lot lizzards love that.

Sorry, it doesnt make youre truck look like "beast mode."

 

Do you mean low pros? medium profile (55+ sidewall) are fine. Personally don't like anything less than a 70 or bigger than 18s

 

Hear hear! May truck 'bling-blingdom' meet its untimely demise one day soon...

 

some hooligan on craigslist has a lifted 05 f150 and ruined it by putting 22" rims and low pro street tires on it, great way to ruin a nice truck and it doesnt look cool. That is not what lift kits are for

 

it looks good if done right, not everyone is a redneck and wants to go mudding, plus mud tires are noisy and annoying for highway driving. I would never put a lift and mud tires on my daily driver. I always wanted to do that when I was younger, but now im older and wiser and know better.

 

I hear ya! Parked next to an Escalade the other day, it had 22s on it with 35 series profile tires....the rubber COULDN'T have been 'thicker' than 1" from tire rim to ground....lol! I'll bet that thing rode like a lumberwagon. Worst thing was, these were evidently not real expensive wheels; they were really deep dish but had a LOT of the chrome chipping away/flaking off. Seeing a $60K vehicle ghetto'ed up like that was almost comical....if it wasn't so sad.

 

SultanGris, my point is simple, you remove all functionability from a vehicle that is not designed or shaped to have low-pro's and 22's under it unless its like the Harley versions...which is still questionable at best when people take a truck like that has clean, smooth, lines and put some wild wheels on it and soft rubber tires that wear out in 9,000 miles. Philosphically, it doesnt make any sense, unless your appeal is to ignorance (not calling names, its actually a fallacy) which thus would still make it a fallacy.

Ad rem, the auxilary staple is that it boils down to self preserverance, in a day in which the world could use a little less of.

 

Oh, and lastly, Im not a redneck (not saying you said I was, just covering the basic notions or subtle psycological implications)...nor do I go mudding and just because my little profile quote says "According to MSNBC..." and has "redneck" in it really doesnt mean that I am. Its base sarcasm, or in other words, vitriol or rhetoric. I do however have a truck that has no problem getting around in foul weather. I mean really, not everyone IS a redneck that has a giant elk guard on their rig.

 

touche my friend! Really no difference in overall tire diameter though, some like more rim, some like more rubber, the overall size is the same. I have the stock 20" rims and I put a set of med profile cooper discover m/s tires and let me tell ya, I have zero problems in the snow, unlike the stock pirellis, which sucked *****.

 

Im glad to see that you speak sarcasm fluently! If the truck comes with 20" rims...thats fine, I think the super dutys that come with them look great and just like the Dodge Rams that come with them. I think they look fantastic, but only because the truck is designed around itself to have 20" wheels. But a 1997 F150 with custom 20's on it...Im sorry...but it stupid and looks ridiculous.

If youre looking to get your truck off the ground, the only TRUE way to do it is with tires, granted lifts may have to accompany larger tires but the only thing that really gets your truck off the ground if thats your goal is starting with the tires by raising the axels.

Ive got Cooper Discover STT's and they are FANSTASTIC!
