    thanks,

    general grabbers are real good truck tires at a good price. If your looking to spend a little more, nitto 404s are awesome too

    Just depends on what you want, i would imagine on the back, the widest tire you could go is a 315, maybe a 325, as far as fronts, i know my 295's when turned all the way, get real close to hitting, so the widest you probably want to go is a 305. ...and to its depends on your rim offset..... as far as the aspect ration of sidewall, i would say, with 17's probably somewhere in the 60's maybe bigger... I have 295/30/22's on my truck, and wish i had gone with a bigger and wider tire... but i guess i'll have to wait till next time....
    These tires are pretty cool Vredestein Tire Sessanta - Tires for your Auto, SUV, and Light Truck from Performance Plus Tire
    ... great handling features...
    My truck is stock height and these tires don't even get close to filling the wheel well which is what i would like to do, but it comes down to personal preference
