Default Tire suggestions

I am looking for a 33x10xR16 or something close to that. I want an aggressive all terrain not a mud tire. Also I want a good treadwear warranty at a reasonable price. Let me know yalls suggestions this is my first time putting new tires on my truck I brought it 2ish years ago and it's time for new tires and a level kit(that's why I want 33s or close) thanks.

All terrains generally arent real aggressive
Mud terrains can be more aggressive

I have been happy with my Cooper AT3 in LT285/70-17. Wide deep voids, quiet, good price on sale.
When looking at photos, theres a difference in P tires and LT. LTs are more aggressive and deeper tread.

Most people are happy with their tires. Most tires are fine.

Most people buy on LOOKS alone, so their opinion is of course very valuable.

Lots of folks confuse wet sandy dirt with mud as well and claim their ATs are great in mud...they dont know what mud is.

Well what are you looking to spend on tires? 800? 1000?

There is a door jam sticker at the drivers side door- it tells you the correct tire size-

I loved my Toyo A/Ts, if those aren't aggressive enough for you look at the Goodyear Duratracs. Those are some good tires too.

BFG A/T KO2's. If you want a more aggressive tire, look into Nitto's.

I have the BFG All-Terrain KO2 on my 2003 Screw. I love them. Surprisingly quiet on the road, great traction in wet weather. I work in rural areas and pull a 12ft cargo trailer to all my locations and having the extra "bite" has kept me from getting buried and from tearing up a client's drive/pasture.

Four were right under a grand with the Discount Tire warranty.

My wife's 2008 Expo has slightly less aggressive BFGs I've been extremely happy with them. Pushing about 40k on hers.

Ask 10 people about tires, get 10 different answers. Where you live and where you take your truck will determine what tires are best for you.

Default Nitto Terra grappler

I just got my Nitto Terra Grappler AT 265-70R17 and it is absolutely night and day difference from my worn Cooper Discoverer AT3.

With NTB promotion of buy two get two free, out the door about $620!!

Aggressive thread patterns, surprisingly quite on road, we just had 12" of snow and traction is amazing!
