What tires should I get?

I need your opinion. I want to take off my off road tires because I am not going off road and they are tearing up my new driveway. The tires are 31 x 10.50R15LT. I want an all season SUV type tire on it. What size and type of tire should I buy?

Re: What tires should I get?

I would go with BFG all terrains. It will look the part on a 4x4 but not tear up your driveway. They also won't throw the rocks as bad. I personally like the mud terrains my self, but understand everyone has their needs. I would stick with the 31"s for the size though. Trevor

I would also say BFG all terrains or BFG rugged terrains. I got some take off rugged terrains from a buddy, and they were good for daily driving/snow/ice.

Re: What tires should I get?

I suggest going to a Dealership and look at what the heavy Suv's come with from the factory...... bring a tape measure. .......... or skip all that and buy Michelins
