2wd, 35" Mtz's aren't for racing, what kind of tires would be recommended for street, off-road, and strip..........I'm thinking of going to a 33" all terrain, but need some ideas:confused:

I have 33x13.50R18 MT ATZ's on my truck and they seem to be a great all around tire. Its not an MTZ thats for sure, the treads load up pretty quick in the mud. However for on the road, snow, and light offroad duties they are very good. Quiet on the road too, which i thought was surprising:)

I used 285/60-18 BFG KDW's for all-purpose tires. They are about 32". I even placed 4th in a sled pull in a field of 30 trucks wearing them.

The Toyo's should do fine off-road also. The only advantage aggressive tires have is in mud, and then they need to be VERY aggressive to work.

So would 285's be a better choice than 315's, I guess as far as weight, or should I stay with the 315's since I have a 2wd.

I also like the looks of the Nitto Dune Grapplers

X2!!

Good luck with the tread life on those Terra Grapplers. Buddy of mine only got 60 000km out of them on his 3/4 ton V-10 Dodge. And he couldn't spin the tires if he tried!!

Shouldn't have looked. Nice set up, Larry. Actually, those should be on my truck because of the ZZ in the sidewalls.:rofl:
