new tires are on! (pics)
4 235/85R16 Mounted balanced for $139.50 per tire.
BFG T/A KO, that is the best price i could find anywhere. Total = $558
I was going to get mudders but, there isn't any mud in Las Vegas, only sand and clay.

Consumer Reports says that the best A/T out there is the Nitto Terra Grappler,
I was tempted to get them, but the BFG were the better price, and I would have to go with 265/75 for the Nitto

235/85r16 isnt an odd size. well maybe for rangers but nearly all duallys use this size and many fullszr dodges and stuff.

damn those things are thin... when the second number is lower that means a wider tire right?

they seem to filll your wheel wells up fairly well tho so thats good...

I believe it goes Treadwith/Sidewall Ratio then Rim Diameter(SP).

so 235/75R15 = 235MM Across, 75% of that is the Sidewall, then the Diameter(sp)

I have about 5 turns on the T-bars. There is about half of the bolt left to crank so i think i should be fine.
