I have been doing a lot of searching around for my lift kit, wheels and tires. So far it seems Truckaddons.com is the cheapest with tires. So what sites do you visit when looking for a new set of tires for your vehicle?

 

I just got my tires and wheels from 4wheelparts.com. I dunno if they are the cheapest but they have excellent customer service. Called me to let me know the tires I originally ordered would be on back order and offered me a deal ($200 off) on a set of tires that were in stock. Very fast shipping also.

 

This is what I have so far.... hopefully it comes out right being excel.

4wheelparts.com doesnt seem to be too much more expensive. Maybe by $20-$30/tire.

I really want the MT Baja Radials, but it really will come down to the cost for everything. By the time I spend money on the lift (Fabtech 6" most likely) and then wheels... things are going to add up quick.

Here is more research stuff I did for other things:

So you can see I have been thinking about a lot of different options lol

 

Buying those tires in a 18 and definitly a 20 is where its going to cost you. What are you lifting? Is a 17" wheel the smallest that will fit on a new Chevy/GMC 1500? I'd run the smallest wheel you can if your trying to do it on a budget, it will save you some cash.

 

I do most of my shopping on 4wheelparts, or national tire and wheel. I would say try and stay away from 17inch wheels, 18 is the way to go. If you look around its getting harder and harder to get a bigger selection of tires for 17inch wheels. You can pretty much find anything for 18's, with the exception of Boggers. I would suggest a 18x10, or 12. Depending on the tire width you want to run. I think anything over a 33 in a 12.50 looks to small. Thats where I would suggest the 12 wides. Also, Mickey's are expensive tires but they are well worth the money. The ATZ's are probably my favorite all terrain. I run 35 15 wide Irok Radials and I love them. They do have a little hum but nothing like my old Mud grapplers did, or like boggers. They claw's are going to be pretty loud too. I would check out the new swamper m16's, they are an all terrain/off road mix.

 

ntwonline.com they keep good prices on everything.. and if your looking for tire reccomendations i would say toyo open country m/t, one of the best running tires ive ever had, ive had them on 2 of my trucks and i ove them. there quiet and ride like a cadillac

 

Whatever wheel selection I choose it will be a x9 or x9.5. 10 wide can cause some rubbing issues I dont to deal with. Plus, I wont be going over a 35" tire.... ever, so I dont forsee going to a 10 wide any benefit over a 9 or 9.5.

9.5 will be for a 20" wheel, the 18 will be a 9" wide wheel.


Ive seen some 35x13.50x18 baja claws for a reasonable price, that might be the combo I go with but man, I love the look of 20's on 35's.

 

M/T has a $100 rebate offer on their 13.50 wide tires right now.
