Tires

This summer when i get my truck working,,,, im gonna put some new meaty tires on it any suggestions?

Are you looking for a specific type? Mud, All terrain, etc.. Also, what size are you looking for?

what are you going to use it for? mostly street, some mud? mostly mud, a little street, rocks? what kind of truck, motor size, are you going to be towing with it? so many factors when recommending a tire.... what is your wanted price range? .......

looking for a cheaper all terain tire that will get me down the road and mud and snow in winter time not much towing will be done only thing will be an 20ft. john boat. my truck has 15' rims and no lift kit so they cant be hugemongous.

oh 302ci 5.0L engine

What kind of a budget do you have to work with?

hmm.... what size do you run on it now?

right now i have completely bald 31X10 comanchies

ok, a good cheaper all terrain tire is the dunlop radial rovers, some good tires for the size truck you have with the engine you have

would those be good in the snow and mud cuz workin on the farm in the winter isn't a easy job.

I have been running the Dunlop Rover M/T on and off the pavement on 15 half tons for 3 months, in rougher terrain than most farms will ever have.... Its in an open pit mine...... I ran the radial rover at, and they didnt work out quite as well as I needed in the 3 foot of snow, with 10 inches of mud beneath that.... they are good tires, and the cost wont kill you...... I ran Kelly Springfield Safari MSR on my personal farm truck, and Ive had them for 5 years, put about 20,000 miles on them, with a healthy mix of pavement, gravel, and ranch.... they have worked really well for me, in mud, snow everything.....

ill sell you my barely used 31x10.50s off my jimmy.. they are dakota m/ts.. they are mud terrains but work great in the snow and rain.. they are surprsingly quite too.. at 85 mph with the windows up you can barely hear them.. i am upgrading to something a little bigger comign this spring so i would like to find a good home for these.. i got them in febuary of last year and probley put 4k miles on them.. my truck has been parked since sept 1st cause i blew out 2 trannys.. my plan is to throw a new tranny in it and make sure it runs alright and then start tearing it apart for the solid axle swap and 12 inches of lift.. i plan on stuffing 38s or 40s under it..

how much r u wantin to sell them for?

I am a fan of the BFGoodrich radial long trail T/As. I have them on my Suburban and they are an awesome tire. Good in snow, mud, rain, and ice, plsu they are cheaper then most other truck tires.

The wrangler R/Ts i have on my truck are purty good. And ya cant beat the price. Got 3 of em for 20 bucks! My only complaint is that they are too small for my tastes.

i dunno what you would pay, but im paying 128$ a piece for the dunlop rover mt, about 148$ for mastercraft courser c/t, about 150 for a cooper discoverer atr, and then all the others i run on light trucks jump into 230-280$ a tire range....

im was thinkin 300 for just the tires and 600 for the rim and tire package.. i dunno what your lug pattern is but the beadlocks i have are 4.75x5 i believe.. they were just a hair to small the fit on my 85 c10 and i know that pattern is 5x5 so im just taking a guess. im sure someone here know the 2nd gen blazer lug pattern... i have well over 1500 bucks invested in the rims and tires plus the time i spent to paint the beadlocks and polish the hell out of the rims.. they were originally a brushed finished but i have a buffer so i polished them up really good.. they look great when there arent covered in muf.. here is a pic of the rims and tires.. i think i have a pic with them clean.. i just got to find it in my photobucket

not the best pics but you can see that they shine up nice..





i think this is the best pic i have.. the bealock rings arent on there because i was in the procces of powdercoating them but you can see that they sparkle.. lol

i have the manual 4x4 hubs so idt the rims would work im not sure bout my bolt pattern.

all you would do is leave the front center caps out.. no big deal

the bolt pattern on those f150's (if im not mistaken) are 5.5x5, the only reason i know that is because i wanted to buy a set of steelies for my ranger from a guy and he had them but they wouldnt fit. so yeah, 5.5x5 is the correct bolt pattern, on my ranger they are 5x4.5

my current tires

i like the super swamper TSL's myself, but i realize thats probly too aggressive for what you want. they would handle the mud great and they are actually decent on the highway. but theyd make ur truck look awesome

how much they run a peice?
