I've decided on a suspension lift, now I need input on what tire I should get. I'm in the market for 33x12.50R15's and I'm asking this simple question.


What tire offers the best "Bang for the Buck"?

Keep in mind I live in South Central Ontario, Canada so I need something that is going to kick *** in the snow. Basically I need a All-Terrain, but I love the looks of Mud-Terrains.

What say you?

 

BFG M/T

 

They any good in snow/ice?

 

A/Ts are my choice in winter, especially ice. M/Ts aren't bad in powder I've found. Everyone's opinion will vary, but it depends on the amount of real "off road" driving you will do.

 

Mostly gravel trails with the occasional mud-hole or water crossing. I like to go home the same way I left, under my own power with everything intact lol

 

I really like my Firestone Destination A/T's I have on the F150 right now, I like them better than the general grabber at's I had on the ranger....

 

These are the ones I've been considering. Let me know what you think of each.

Get some rock crawlin tires.



It'll paddle through anything.

Might be a little loud on the highway.

 

Rock Crawlers are a bit much IMO lol thanks tho lol

 

x2 on that. they are amazing in the snow and ice. i love mine so far.

 

BFG AT's, can't beat em'.

 

Here are the few pics i have of my BFG M/T's in snow and ice they perform very well in deep snow but not so good in the slushy stuff.

The first pic is me getting rdy to pull a Rx7 out of the ditch they performed flawlessly considering it was all dead weight.



Now here is me going through some pretty thick ice

Im from northern Alberta, Deffinitly dont try to run Mud terrains on a ranger on ice(slide though way to many intersections and ditches). I run BF all terrains in the winter, they look pretty good ,great snow and ice tire. Then i have a set of bfg Mud terrains on some 16's for the summer they look great

 

im in the market too. dont know what the hell to get

 

Ace, What size tire you running? Also, are you running the KM's or the KM2's ?

 

BFG A/T

 

I'm running mud terrain km1 this wintre. They are terrible on ice. They can be used to get around on the street they're a challenge. If you're a good, confident driver you should be able to pull it off.
That being said the all terrains own the snow. Best on road snow tire for a ranger, even better than a latitude x ice snow/ice tire.

Don't cheap out on tires! Get the bfs hundreds of rfers can't be wrong.

 

Well, the input on the tires was great guys. Thanks a bunch. Now however, I am in need of a set of wheels. I want something that will look good, yet still be cheap enough to replace if I f**k one up. Preferably I would like a set of 15x10 steels, with enough offset to put them out past the fenders a bit. Since I know first hand they can take a beating, and are dirt cheap to replace, I'm now asking yet again for your input.

 

I have Cooper Discoverer STT's. Fantastic on dry,wet or snowy roads. They are decent in slush but awful on ice, but then,what tire isn't?


Very good reviews from what I have read on them and I am very impressed with their overall performance.

 

Travis, I will sell or trade you my 15x8 Cragar Soft 8's if you have some stock aluminum 15s.

 

Goodyear MTR's!

 

MTR's are sick

 

Where you located? And what they look like?

 

I'm the guy that messaged you about the Mazda B2200 stuff lol.



They're steel,powdercoated black. 4" backspacing, 15x8.

 

thats right you are too lol sorry I haven't gotten back to you yet I'm still out of work and lookin' damn hard. Anyways I just took pics of each wheel on my ranger. Sorry bout the snow and crud, it's been snowing here all day and I HATE the cold so I took them as fast as I could lol
