Um...there literally like thousand of choices...first off, what size tire do you need/want? Secondly what kind do you want? (highway, MT, AT, swappers etc) Thirdly how much do you wanna spend?

This is one of those help us help you times..we need a little more into then I need tires. lol If your looking for a good tire, my Dakota at2s have not failed me yet and theyre pretty cheap too.

Well my dakota at2s, the only one I've driven with..are great in the snow/mud. I also have 31 on 4.5" and they do amazing for me. We had about 1/2 of snow today and I could not my baby to spin out for the life of me! And I always have traction in the mud, even swampy crap.

They best thing I would tell you to do is to look up the kinda tire you want, or look at styling then look up the reviews on the tire. mine were like 4 tire installed alignment and insurance the whole deal out the door for >600

How much money you got to sink into gas? With gas being 4$ (or soon to be says the media) and being a DD can you take that kinda hit of the major mpg loss with the mts?

Hopefully this picture attaches...I'm on my phone. But I haven't lost any MPG with these.


I'm not trying to like push my tires just I got mine and Pep-boys and people see those places/tires as cheap and they're often over looked when they can get a good tire for lost less than the other guys.

honestly 31's on a 4.5" lift will look silly IMO

Lol 32s are 1 inch bigger, I bet if told you I had 32s you couldn't tell a difference. Mine just looks like a big *** stock Jeep. I wanted to keep the stock look so that's why I went with 31s over the 35s I was gonna get.

I guess you're right it does look silly.
That one inch I don't have. Damn it. I guess I should go rip my snorkel off, put my sway bars on and park at the mall hahahaha
