Default Got new rims, now need new tires.

Hey everyone, I bought a set of eagle alloy 079 18x8.5 last weekend now trying to figure out what tire to get. Iv been looking at the nitto terra grappler and mastercraft courser axt. Also Im thinking about going with some aggresive looking 32in tires instead of 33s, anyone got any suggestions on the best tires for the lowest price. Reason for wanting 32s is so if i need to take off my leveling kit i can still keep them on and the mpg.

I just put General Grabber AT2's on my Jeep. Great tires and reasonable price.

If you go with heavy 10 ply tires they will kill your mpg more then a leveling kit. Stick with a P rated or XL rated tire and check the tire weight's.
