Tire recommendation?

235/75/15
looking for a "knobby" look that is still practical for highway/city use and raised white lettering.

worst case, i can do without the raised lettering if i can get a tire that looks right and just paint it using dupli-color tire paint.

looking to get a few of these to add to the look of hte truck.

i have one sport king a/t steel radial that looks perfect, but i dont have a ton of faith in its condition so wanted to get some new tires to match that style.

Re: Tire recommendation?

Goodyear all terrain or mud terrain will suit you fine and are a decent tire. They have white lettering.

That said I am truly impressed with nitto trail grappler, these are a great looking tire and work wonderfully.

Cooper discoverer a/t and s/t. On the rear of my truck I got some older dean alpha 365, I think those tires are comparable. As for the deans I really like the way they handle and ride.

Re: Tire recommendation?

I like the new look if the BF Goodrich Mud Terrains. More aggressive looking than the previous pattern.

Cooper STT. Hands down, best mild mud tire I've used.
