so the time has come ... in a couple months that is lol
So I have been saving for an 8 inch lift for my super. I think I will have enough by December. I need to figure out what tires to get. I love bfg mudders but i dont think they make them in 38x14.50s, any idea oh what tires would work for me that will last me a while. These bfgs are holding up decent, but with burn outs haha they dont stand a chance. i would prefer a mud tire look but an at is an option ... anyone have any advise?
thanks

You have to remember though, with longer tread life you loose traction because of a harder compound. I know you tow a lot and drive the street but do you off-road much? I don't think a mud tire would be economical because you don't need them. I bet you'd get better tread life out of an all terrain tire. As far as what tire, I'm still not sure. I'm looking.

i dont off road my truck, i do go up dirt roads and everything, sometimes they are muddy but never any trails, haha this truck is to big for that. not meant to flex out and all that happy stuff. a harder compound id be ok with, I just like to aggressive look of a MT but not a must ... i think it will look good with the lift and larger tires ... i just dont want a bfg at i hate the at ...

I kinda like the look of the Pro Comp Xterrains. They come in a 38x14.5R17 size but I'm not really sure what rim size you're going with. They are load range E for a heavy truck so that won't be an issue. They're a radial so road worthy manners would be present. A big downfall is a directional tread pattern that can only be rotated front to back unless you reverse the tread pattern.

MTZ or Nittos, im pretty sure the nittos would wear a quite a bit faster.
and the only AT i can think of above a 35 is the ATZ and tahts the only AT in my book that looks good over a 33.. i think BFGs look like crap when you go that big, it just looks funny being that big and not knobby...
i take that big, 4WP has a 37 1250 AT...
MTZs are a 38x1550?
and they have a 37 1250 MFG mud.. gotta look funny that thin tho IMO
hmmm how about some Ground Hawgs?
just saw u wanted the Toyos, and you said you hit mud holes? i have heard from multiple people that Toyos suck in the mud, just something to think about

probably the mickey thompson mtz ... still thinkin of rims ... i kinda like the mb gunner 8 in a chrome finish ....
here is a super lifted 7 inches i think (gaser ick) with 38x15.50s on those gunner wheels ... i like it ... looks kinda goofy it being a single cab with that man killer bumper ... but not bad not a fan of the brand of tires haha..
here are the wheels ...
these are in the "Anthracite Machined" finish, i want the chrome ones (there would be no black, whole rim is chrome)
