Yep I am in the market. I have done a TT/Shackles and believe I am going for 265/70/16 Duelers. BUUTTT! I would appreciate if you all could show me what brands you have/ sizes / pics / how they ride!!! I really want something that looks aggressive but rides nice and makes my Trac look beefer. THANKS A MILLION! After this weekend I should be posting what I decided on and the outcome!!
 
Sorry, I don't have any pics. But I am on my second set of REVOs. I love them and I am riding on 265/75 R16s. Love the ride and performance.

In my opinion they are the most aggressive looking all terrain tire on the market

They look Great! With just a TT and shackles how much larger could i possibly go?????





I Just checked the following info...

Current Goodyears 255/70/16 are 30.3inches in diameter & 10.2inch in width



Bridgestone duelers 265/75/16 are 31.8inches in diameter & 10.6inch in width

Bridgestone duelers 285/75/16 are 33.0inches in diameter & 11.7inch in width



will the larger ones work with just a TT/Shackles? anyone have pictures of this on the stock rims?

285 tires with just a TT lift will rub when turning, and you will have to trim the inner fenders. I have 285/70/17 tires and they rubbed with just a TT lift, that is why I did the 4" suspension lift, because I want to try some mild off-roading and they was no way I could do anything without ripping the inner fenders out.

Yes. Rubbing. Mostly on the anti sway bar up front and the mud guards but other than that I love it. For the money it is a cheep lift and I wish I had done the body lift or suspension lift. I have been off road quite a few times mud ridding and climbing hills but I haven't torn anything up (yet). No spacers but 1" in the back will help. I am considering getting some.
 
Thanks guys. I believe I have made my decision. oddly enough its not any that I originally went out after. 275/70/16 bridgestone dueler revos on my stock rims with white lettering. I'll post the end result.
