Default Tire Question ???



This is the Wheel I am planning on using "HELO 18 X 9"
90% Street and Highway (Damn the Truth Hurts)
9% Sand and Beach Driving (Florida, you know.. no Mts or Hills)
1% Mud (if i am lucky enough to find some lol)

So what do you All Think? AT's ? I want something that is Quite and Works Well on Wet Roads (it rains everyday at 4pm here lol) aswell as when i get the chance to go OFFROAD.

Sure, AT's are great for the kind of driving you're planning on doing

Like WOL said, AT's are probably your best beat and you can find very agressive ones if that's the look you want. Nice wheel by the way, I had some on my CJ.

Cool My 2 cents...

I just put on the Dick Cepek FC-II (33x12.5x16). I love them. Very little highway noise, and I understand they have much better wear than the Mickey Thompson MTZ and DC Mud Countries.

I have Pro Comp extreme AT's, 33 x 12.5 17, on my Dodge Ram. I love them! They are a great all around AT that is awesome in the rain and snow. Tons of siping. My dodge doesn't see much off roading though (that's what we have a jeep for ), so I can't comment on too much there. But if I was buying another AT, it would be the Pro comp's Extremes.

and I definitely like the look of those black helo's, good choice

Go Toyo and dont look back. Toyo MTs have a nice aggressive tread but are also very good on the road.
