Default New tires

So looking to get new tires Monday. Tried to get bf Goodrich mud terrain e rated 275 70 18 said they didnt make them. I want something that has some thick mud looking tread. Priced some nitto terra grapplers what some tires Yal like looks and performance.

---AutoMerged DoublePost---

Been looking online I like the nitto trail grapplers and toyo mt open country also. Seen bf Goodrich mud terrains in a 285 70 18 will they fit my truck. Not sure if they were e rated. Only going back with an e rated tire.

I haven't heard that before, but I have heard they are loud and wear fast. Typical of such an aggressive tire though. A buddy had them, and he likes how they chewed through mud.

285/70 18's are 10 mm wider than 275/70 18's so not much difference

The kelly tsr is good looking I'm really leaning towards the nitto trail grappler they look awesome and been reading people getting around 35000 miles on them? Hoping I can get them with white letters

Do you NEED E rated? A lot of the larger D rated tires still have the same load capacity...

Nittos seem to wear fast, no matter which one you use.

The Toyo MT's are a very popular tire for the super duties and seem to hold up to the weight well.

I hate BFG's.

I'm running Pro-Comp X A/T's. Love them so far.

Found a place a couple of towns over that sales used tires with roughly 60-70 percent tread mounted and balanced for 100 bucks headed there in morning to check them out. Also priced the toyo mt open country there mounted and balanced 812 dollars
