Default Please Help!!

Ok guys and gals, im struggling here with choosing a tire. I am going with the KMC XD Series Hoss 18x9 wheel. Now the question is what tire to go with? I normally do most of my driving on pavement, but occasionally I let the truck splurge and drive offroad. I really would like to find a tire right around $200.00 if possible. I would like a 33" and something somewhat "meaty." I know you guys all have your pro's and con's about the rim I choose so I don't really care what you think if you dont like it . I just would like your imput on tires!

I agree with sin (on the BFGs ) the only prob is they are on the pricey side my brother in law owns a auto part store and the best price he could find was what tire rack was offering them for he got one of is venders to match them you might want to look at cooper tires they are a little cheaper

I think you're going to find it difficult to find any tire that is around $200 and give you the look you really want. Kumho's and Cooper have some pretty good looking AT's, but your going to pay closer to $250 a tire and those are probably some of the cheaper AT's you're going to find. May want to check your local craigslist if you're truly stuck at that $200 limit. Good luck and let us know what you finally decide on.

18" tires ain't cheap. Maybe try a 285x65x18 Nitto terra grappler.

Nitto Terra Grapplers or Mud Grapplers. You can get them for less then $200 each. I put 4 Terra Grapplers on my wifes 4x4 for roughly $600 mounted and balanced out the door

I like the new wheel selection a lot better. Even though mine are chrome I may be a little biased.
