Tires for a Two-Wheel-Drive

[Stu Pidd]

More aggressive tread in back, or same tire all the way around?

The C-10 still has the lousy Uniroyal tires the P.O. put on, so it's definitely time for some higher-quality tires.

Definitely want more grip in the back, at least until the truck gets a Posi/Limited-Slip/Locker in the rear axle, so when I'm off paved surfaces, I don't get the one-wheel-peel. I like Goodrich All-Terrain TAs, have them on the 4x4 and the Jeep. Good traction, good tread life, pretty quiet for a knobby tire.

Option 1: BF Goodrich TAs on the back, something with less aggressive tread on the front

Option2: Find a compromise, and use the same tire all the way around. Easy to rotate.

What do you guys way smarter than I suggest?

I've had good luck with KUMHO Road Venture. They're reasonably priced and do well all around.

Depends on how you'll be using it and what you expect. You mention some off-road, and I assume year-round use in all weather. I am very pleased with Michelin LTX A/T2s on our Tacoma. I would use the same on all four corners, for the reason you mention as well as being able to steer & stop well. The LTXs may be a bit more expensive than some, but they should more than make up for it in longevity which of course means less $$$ for additional mounting & balancing.
