I don't think we have a thread dedicated to tires and I thought it could be useful to have all tire talk in one centralized place.




I need new tires for my duramax. I have BFG Rugged Terrains T/As on it now and have not had the truck long enough to have any real opinion on them. I'm looking at tires under $300 each and I have come up with 4 types that I know nothing personally about. It is a street truck only and doesn't see many (if any) dirt or gravel roads. Listed from cheapest to most expensive.

BFG Rugged Terrain T/A - http://www.tirerack.com/tires/tires....omCompare1=yes

Nitto Terra Grappler - http://www.discounttire.com/dtcs/fin...=TDNINT&cs=275

The total price difference is only about $200; so price is not that great of a factor but I don't want to regret the purchase. Internet searches only get you so far b/c the internet is full of both positive and negative reviews of all 4 options.

Anyone have any experience with any of these? I'm leaning towards the first two b/c I really think the more aggressive tread of the latter is just over-kill for my application. What would you buy?
