that kinda limits your choices Keith


Agreed, good rubber costs money bro so fork it over and pick up some KDW's or Yokohama S-Drives. Don't cheap out, tires are the most important thing on the truck, it's the only thing that touches the road!!

I vote for the kdw's but if your going on the budget side check out the general exclaim UHP. tires. General is made by conti and these are some alright tires I put them on a previous vehicle as summers and had no complaints

Up your budget to $150-$200 per and your tire choice broaden dramatically. I take it you wanna stay with stock size.

Agreed, don't skimp on tires.

...or plowing into another vehicle, tree, poles, or curb due to lost of traction under hard braking.

i got the best deal for ya ketchup. 255/45/18 cooper zeons! read up on them and see what you think. 163.99 a tire at PEPBOYS!!!! IMA GET THEM FOR MY TRUCK,. the tire itself looks like a 265, 275, when u put it near a potenza 255. you can buy em carry out or get put on there. the benefit to have em put on with road hazzard is that you'll qualify for a mail in rebate on the tire. basically, if you buy 3 you get the 4th free after mail in rebate, with install. Ima mngr at pepboys so, give em a call

gonna give these a try. I did some research on other forums today. All in all, they sound like good tires. Plus I have cash and I can just go pick em up from PEP BOYS.

I went to Martin tire and they quoted me 230 250 for their available (had to order) tires. I said, uh no!
