new treads for the trips this year// :)
Well I broke down and did it. I have been looking at tires for a while and I knew the look I wanted but a Mud Terrain being a softer compound probably wasn't my best choice for a road trip to Mississippi in June and a trip to Kansas City Missouri in August. I knew that I wanted an aggressive look and a tall skinny tire.. I talked to a local tire shop and he told me that I needed a commercial tire.. I looked on line but the pics just didn't do it for me. he offered to order them in at no obligation to me, so I told him to go for it.. I ended up buying them and are very pleased.. they are an aggressive cross between an A/T and a M/ T and they are a 235/85-r16 which is about 9.7" wide and stand almost 32" tall.. I am happy and with regular rotation and balance, I should get good wear out of them.....

Glad you got something you like, and that you're happy with them. It's YOUR truck, so it needed to be YOUR choice.
I like them and the way the truck sits......
