Default tires?

rite now the pickup i bought has BFGoodrich All terrain t/a's and they're about all worn out.
and i was thinking of getting just geting BFGoodrich All terrain 265/75R16, or else the cooper discover STT??
wat do you guys think? im look for a road tire but semi aggressive and good looking.
let me know if u have ne other good choices

ya they really do look good if your running stock rims check out 285's they give it that extra look also check into cranking up your torsion bars it levels er out and i think it looks pretty good and it cheaper than a lift but you gotta be careful sometimes when cranking em cause ive herd about people messing up their ideler and pitman arms also snapping tie rods if you don't have sleeves...

I have had the BFG's and they always seem to wear out fast. IMO I would try the coopers.

Cooper discovery stt's look nice and may seem nice but they just wear out too fast for me

I cant seen to find a tire that lasts, ive never had the BFG'S but had a set of cooper stt's and they looked awesome, and dug good in the mud, but wore out in a hurry, had some Bfg rough terrains, lasted forever, took abuse like crazy, but were virtually useless in the mud and snow, had a set of Kumho Road venture at KL78's and they were awesome in the snow and mud, but didnt last.. chunked off on gravel easy, got a set of Toyo M-55's and they seem to be awesome in snow and mud, but they are already wearing out, i think i will try them again, and hopefully they last a little longer M-55 | Toyo Tires

check out the Dick Cepek FCIIs or Wrangler Duratracs I heard both are pretty good mileage tires and they look pretty aggressive. I know a guy with a 02 cummins with the duratracs and he really likes them.
