Default tire help

Newbie here, but i was wondering what the best tires to get in a size 35x12.5 r16? currently im running 33's with a 2" spacer lift but in march I am getting a 4.5" sa suspension lift and want to put 35s on. I would really like to wait a bit longer to go to r17" so I was wondering what you would recommend. Id prefer to keep the price out of the clouds as well...but as i have started finding out, its hard to do. thanks.

A very cheap and decent 35" is the Fierce attitude.

check out the 4 sale section. If you are planning on moving up to a 17" wheel, I would buy a used set of tires.

I was really wanting to stick with the 16" wheel for a little while. However I have had a bit of trouble finding a 35" tire that I want to fit on the 16" wheel. thanks for the heads up on fierce tires dozer ill look into them a bit more.

i see that you got the answers you needed here but, i was just wanting to make sure you knew just how much lift 4.5" really is. i mean, it's a lot for 35's and you can even clear a few of the smaller 37's made today with that much lift.

for cheaper 35s too, the treadwrights just came out in september and are only 120 a piece. All five 35s for 600+shipping is not too bad they are a 315/75R16 as well

Thanks for the heads up on the 37s... Im going to talk with my performance shop guys about that for sure. I wouldn't want to regret going too small. All the different brands that have been thrown out there have helped widen my search considerably.

The toyo open country M/T is a great tire.
