ok, the thread here http://turbodieselregister.com/forums/showthread.php?t=170055 is prolly best to be put here.
I can't get new rims just yet. So I'm stuck with 17" rims. when I can, I plan on have the old 2 sets, one for winter, one for summer.
So, outa the 285 E range tires (big side wall here). which tires have you guys found to have the best traction dry, and descent wet/snow?
I know it's like trying to cram an square block in a round hole, but someone here has had to have E/T track time and over all feel for a few sets of tires by now that aren't street radials.
For the most part, you have:
nitto 285/70/17 E ranges (love the look of hte 295's on my truck).
Toyo open country A/T's that are the same spec.
Anything else? I heard lots of good things of the toyo's but they are $170 more then the nitto's.
I suppose unless it's a drag radial, your not going to get much traction with 850#'s torque outa the hole unless you in 4x4. But I would like to try to do a bit better, I mean, at WOT at 30mph I can break them lose
wanna prevent that.
I wish BFG's where in an E range with the 285 size. With my jeep, in 2wd I could pull 1/2 car on camaro's z28 and mustangs GT (the 5. 0's mainly, some early 4. 6's). naturally I'd get walked after that, but for hte 60 foot the BFG K/O's A/T's were sticky!
