Smile Tire Pics Request

Just got my 15x8 Rallys back from the powder coater and ready for some new tires for my 71 Blazer (4x4).

Looking for a clean look from today's tires lines. Not real interested in anything with heavy and aggressive lug tread or with lots of sidewall art. Just simple and clean but with a nice stance for a 4x4. Closer to stock look but not retro.

If anyone has some pictures of tires they are running I'd really appreciate some pics or suggestions. Thanks

Re: Tire Pics Request

I would agree, I also like the Toyo Open Country A/T's as another choice.

Re: Tire Pics Request

The BFG's are on my short list.

Any other recommendations?

Has anyone used a set of Michelin LTX M/S that have a picture?

Re: Tire Pics Request

Dunlop mud rovers have a very simple sidewall, but maybe too aggressive of a tread for you. I have Goodyear wranglers on my truck right now and they are nice.

I've got them on my blazer. They are a nice streetable tire but have enough bite if you need it. They work well on wet roads and in snow.

Re: Tire Pics Request

Check out the Procomp line of All terrains. They have quite a few ranging from Street AT to Aggressive ATs...then even mudder looking ATs.

Re: Tire Pics Request

I'd be interested in seeing pics of stock height/8" wheel and tire combos, too. I searched the boards to no avail.

Re: Tire Pics Request

31's with no lift. I am looking to get new tires, possibly 265/70/15 Rugged Terrain BFG's I want a quieter ride but still a little bit of an off road look.

Re: Tire Pics Request

Here is my latest find for awesome tires. They are a sub company of Goodyear. Fierce Attitude M/T. I have had them on my jeep for a year and have put over 30,000 miles on them and they still have amazing amounts of tread. They do great off road, mud, snow, rain, and road noise is way less than the Goodyear Wrangler M/T's I previosly had. The best tire I've bought to date. I'm gonna run them on my next 4x4 project and will continue to run them on my jeep.
