Default New tire help

Light it's time for me to get new tires but I can't make up my mind, I've decided on four possible tires

All 325/60/18 Mickey Thompson mtz, toyo open country mt, pro comp extreme at, terra grapplers

My truck is a 4x4, and I'll take other recommendations too

You would be happy with any of those choices. I have trail grapplers on my truck and I guess they're pretty good but I have nothing to compare them to.
However if you plan on keeping the stock rims a 325 section tire might be a little wide, it's still possible but not recommended.

I like the mud tires, but why did you throw in the terra grapps? The trail grapps MT's are similar to the others, which is what I would go with 295/70/18 34.6 X 11.2. I love the sidewalls on those, and they are more reasonably priced.

Take a look at the Cooper STT. I'm about to buy a set. Decent price and from what I've heard they are better than the Nittos.

What would you guys recommend for a 2006 FX4 Screw un lifted. I want to go slightly bigger than the stock 275/55/20, but I am not going to lift the truck.
I will swap out the shock for some bilstein 5100 and replace the front coils too.
My favorite tires ever were General Grabber At2 on my 4Runner. They were awesome on road and better offroad.

To the op, I wouldn't go with the terra grapplers if you like the mt tire look, you will be disappointed.
Jack, if you get the bilstein adjustable shocks you will be able to lift the front two inches and fit up to 35s with proper wheel offset, similar to stock.

I was able to fit on 33x12.50 on my truck completely stock and no trimming needed so I was very glad about that and they look great. Toyo M/T by the way.

I had 305/60/18 mtz's on stock wheels and loved them. Toyos would probably be my second choice. I have 295/70/18 nittos on now and don't really care for them
