What size wheels do you use?

  1. Stock size or stock size plus or minus 2 or 3%

  2. Stock size upgrade stock or for a different/newer year or trim level

  3. Load range upgrade, say your truck came with load range C but you run D

  4. Tires slightly bigger than stock

  5. Tires a lot bigger than stock

  6. Big wheels with rubber band tires like the retard in the pic

    I don't want low-rider tires on my 4WD. That's what I think every time I see a newer truck with low-profile tires. Yes, I understand the rationales given for using them.

    I put 30x9.5r15 Yokohama AT tires on and filled them with CO2.

    Now is the time to buy snow and ice tires if you need that kind of thing. Late August and September is when the tire manufacturers actually make snow and ice tires.

    I have a Ford Ranger and it has 255/70/ 16's with a deep lug. Great tires but want to get new ones before these wear out.
