well im getting a truck soon. if everything goes right by next week. it has a 3 inch lift on it but just has the regular stock wheels on it. i want to get the biggest tires that will fit on it wich are 35's but my boss said they would suck on the highway. i was just wondering if anyone know is there is a good brand that makes big tires that are ok on pavement. right now im looking at the BF Goodrich all terrains and/or BF Goodrich mud terrains.

 

The baja claws arent too bad on pavement.

 

hmmm i just checked them out. i dont really think im looking for something that agressive. ill take your word for it but those look like theyd suck on the road. and by road i mean including highways.

 

Nevermind..Im a dumbass. Stick to the A/Ts

 

go with the all terrains .. I have them in 33's there pimp ... the mud terrains might be a little loud for some people but if you dont mind a little tire noise then go with them ....

 

some have the mudder in radial. ask around..I think cepek/ thompsom.

I have at's now...I wish I had MT'S they just clean off better and climb better.

 

Be a man! Get the new Micky Thompson 47 x 18s

 

Check out the Pro Comp X-Terrain. They were quieter than BFG All Terrains on my jeep. Plus, if you do go off road, they work great. Last fairly long too. BFG mud terrains suck on the street. Loud, and sh!ty wet weather traction. They arent even all that good off road.

 

Lucas... ask yourself, What do you want to do? Alot of people just wanna look cool, seriously. If you plan on going 4 wheeling, or doing alot of offroad, go with something sick. if not. who cares. ya know? but basically anything will fit on any rim if you want it too...

 

The reason they will suck on the highway is because of your gear ratio and not which tires you select. The larger the tire the more you will need to regear your axles.
I just picked up Super Swamper Boggers. Now those tires are so loud on the highway. It sounds like a jet.

 

If you want agressive looks and not to bad wear on the street, check out the super swamper SSR radials. They work great on my jeep, I use the 35/12.50/15 with 7" lift.

 

I have Goodyear Wrangler RT/S tires on my F-150. 285/75-16's which is about a 33" tire. The stock gearing isn't great for them. It's about a 14.5% bigger circumference than stock. It's fine for the highway and **** but it does downshift at every little hill. I also only have the 4.6L motor, so that's most of it. Any way the RT/S's are really nice, not too loud and good traction off road. If you keep them aired up and rotated every 5000 miles you can get between 60-80K on them.

What kind of truck is it? 35" is a huge tire for only a 3" lift.

 

since he's at work (i'm assuming) i'll answer for him. it's a 96 dodge ram 1500

 

yo give Pete at COMP EDGE a call he's got a set of nitto mud terrian they aren't as agrasive as baja claws but still look it a have a smooth ride and there for an 18 inch rim mud tires look ill when you got alot of chrome between them and you can save your self some money cuase there like brand new and he wants half the price go checkem out also Dominic from reckless has a set of baja's if your intrested

 

lets see...if its a 3" lift that means its probably only a body lift..though they may say 35's will fit, you'll probably be ripping apart your fenders if you hit a bump while turning...we always run a smaller size than recomended, like my friend has a 6" suspension and 3" body lift on his 95 gmc, and they say you can run 38's on this, but he runs 35's....we put 38's on it and there isnt any clearance for offroading...now tire wise, the BFG mud terrain isnt all that loud, the allterains i love and right now i'm running Nitto Terra Grapplers which i am very impressed with....like other people have said, ask yourself what your gonna do with the truck and decide on tires from there.

 

wow thanks for all the replies. some one told me that 33s can fit on a stock dodge 1500. so with the 3inch lift i could put 35s on it. maybe its 31s on stock and 33s with the lift.

and ftrain, whats the biggest i could go without messing with the gear ratios? im really new to this so i appreciate all the help

im not looking to do a ton of off roading. maybe here and there. its just that the truck that im buying is a nice big truck with a 3 inch lift but only has the stock wheels on it. i want to put some big tires with a decent aggresive look to them. i just dont want to over due it so it sucks riding it on the highway and street.

 

My trucks stock with 33's but it's not good for off roading. It would rub like crazy. I only got the tires because I wanted the wheels. I got them as a package deal used for $125. I recommend some nice looking 33's. You should be good with that. It will be on pavement most of the time anyway. Alot of the real aggressive tires not only are loud but don't wear as well. Get some A/T's.

 

yo Lucas ... my mom had a 99 dodge shortbed .. I put 33's on it stock and it was pimp ... so Im sure w that lift the 35's should work .... but thats just



edit im a dumbass ... they were 31's I put on there now that I think about it ... so maybe the 35's might be tight .... do some research

 

Dodge Rams Have The Most Clearnce Wheel Clearance Of Any Truck I Put A 3 Inch Body Lift On My Buddys 1500 Ext Cab Ram And He Put On 36 Inch Dick Cepek Fun Country Tires And Went Wheelin All The Time No Rubbing ! So Don't Let Any One Tell You You Wont Fit 35 With A 3 Inch Body O Buy The Way Those 36 Inch Tires Were Also 15 Inch Wide If That Tells You Anything Go With The More Agresive Tire Its The Look Who Cares If They Make Noise I Had 35 By15 Claws On My Jeep And Id Be On The Highway Passin Mothafukas All Day

 

I have 33 inch all terrains on the jeep, i am a fan.
