Little help...

I want to upgrade to a good dual purpose, aggressive looking, set of tires...
I have donahoe coilovers and old man emus in the rear which give me about 3 extra inches to play with... but i do not want to buy new wheels... stick with the stocks...

What, in your opinion, should i be looking at? and how big can i go with a dual purpose tire on these rims without giving up too much on road performance... noise, sidewall flex, etc..

and what will look best...?

Thanks for any suggestions in advance...

Re: Little help...

By "dual purpose" I assume you mean All Terrain. In that case there are a couple of great choices: BFG All Terrain KO and Nitto Terra Grappler

Re: Little help...

Take a look at my selections in the Max Traction off-road or the All Terrain category. There are some great tires in both listings wich will give you exceptional value and performance. I would be glad to go over the selections in both categories to best determine your needs. I can be reached at 800-428-8355 x:692. - Mason

Might look at Dick Cepek F/C II At... they have a cool look and seem to have a good rep. I ran them once and really liked them...

Nitto Terra Grapplers


Cheaper then BFG and quieter on the pavement

Re: Little help...

Toyo Open Country AT is a good choice to consider as well.

I know the guy on 4Runner who used to run them. He was very good impression on those tires.
