I am looking for 35/12.5/20 All-Terrain not really sure which ones to get between nitto, kumho, toyo, etc. i am looking for a quiet tire that i can get good mileage out of. i mainly drive the truck on the street but from time to time go off roading and tow a 9000lbs toyhauler to the sand and dirt. price isnt really an issue i am willing to pay more for a better tire. thanks for the input
I'm fix'n to get a set of nitto dune grapplers to replace the toyo a/t on my truck now.
Toyo tires were pretty good I have put over 20k on them since I bought the truck and had my front suspension bushings go out twice in that time, so there was more life in them than I got to use cause of the wear from the alignment being out.
my baja ATZ's were decent tires... got about 45K out of them.... just when you get down to the last 20% or so its time to change them out... no real grip in rain or snow from my experience
I just run them in the summer ( 5th summer) and they get abused mud , track , street race etc . I have been caught 3 times in snow/ice and performed way better than expected w/about 50% of tread .
Im down to 5/32 on the fronts and 7/32 on the rear (just rotated a few weeks ago) and have no problem stopping in the rain but have to agree taking off on a wet road can be tricky or fun depending on how you look at it .
I have the Revo 2's and they have been great so far. They, suprisingly, have great traction everywhere I've gone with them. I have about 20k on them right now and they look like they did the day I bought them. Good luck. There are definitely alot of great options.
I have had great luck out of BFG AT's. I have the second set on my truck now and they handle great. I put over 40K on my first set and changed them out when they still had some life left in them. My new set has about 7K on them now. Best all terrain tire I have had so far, but I know there are a lot of good ones on the market. This one has just done great for me. My next tire will be a Nitto Trail Grappler MT though.
I bought my truck with toyo m/t tires and put around 30k on them and they still have 15-20% tread and they are quiet imo but I just bought nitto trail grapplers and I love them, the look, the ride, the DEEP tread and they are a little cheaper than toyos. :thumb
Anyone suggest size of wheel and tire for 04-05 GMC 2500 without putting a lift kit on? Want to beef it up a bit but don't want to do too much trrimming. I've seen some say stick with 16" and go big on the tire and others say 18" wheel and avg size tire. If anyone can point me to some pics that would help a lot. I've heard good stuff about Nitro's but how long do they last on the 3/4 tons? More street driving but still like to play in the mud of course :help

Well 285's on the stock wheel fit on with just turning the bars up about an 1"1/4. I just did mine a week ago with new bfg's and my brother has 305's on his stock wheels with the bars turned up about the whole way.
I have 305/60R18s Nitto Terra Graplers on my rig. My torsion bars dropped all the way down in the front with 2" drop shackles and the overload spring removed in the back.
