Off road tires

Post by vonburger »

What is a good set of general off-road tires? Should i get new rims with it or just use the ones i have?

Yes, Mudding and very mild off road. I will be doing some in town driving also. I think they are stock buti could be be wrong. I want to eventually lift the truck 5 inches or so.

they make alot of options for 15 inch rims. bfgs, goodyear stuff. personally I wouldnt mind a goodyear wrangler duratrac. Good tread, wear really good, and can handle weight.

You're going to be disappointed in your mudding abilities with a 2wd... better at-least weld them spiders up lol
BFG mud terrain wouldn't be too shabby.
