Tires

[gmcbogger]

I am looking into buying some new tires for my truck. I have narrowed the choice down to 2 tires. I was wondering if there is anybody with any insight on any of these tires. Mickey Thompson Baja MTZ and the Pro Comp Xterrain. Or if someone thinks there are better tires out there besides those please fill me in. This is my first truck and I am new at buying tires for it so I really have no idea about any of them lol.

Nobody has any suggestions?

If you are going to be driving off road all the time then those might be ok. But if you want good street ride and good mileage then I doubt these are going to do that. The more aggressive the tread the worse they are on pavement, noisy, rough ride etc.

Not to mention, mud terrains generally are made of a softer compound, so they tend to wear a little quicker. But every brand is different, and I don't have any prior knowledge of the brands you listed. For a general use tire, definitely stick with all terrains. I bought my truck with mastercraft mt's. They're unbelievable in the mud, but are a terrible street tire. I'm going to have to get new tires before winter and I was looking at a set of General brand a/t's. I've heard good things about them.

Tyres are the very important parts of your vehicle...you should not take any chance when it is related to your wheel...so keep in mind before buying wheels..

there is a rims/rubber forum on the main page close to the bottom that you would probably get a better response in. jm2c
