last minute TIRE ADVICE (for AR chambers)

[cyronman]

I figured all you veterans were begging for someone to ask about tire sizes, again, so...

I'll let the cat out of the bag; 2 weeks ago I received my AR teflon chambers
that had been on national backorder. I know gasmask is notorious for bringing these to light and it's a good thing him & ph2gr4 both have Ebonys, because I would have had to be a little more original
But when I wanted new rims on the Ironman, I knew they were eXactly what I wanted when I saw them.
Anyways,
I've been narrowing down the tire choices and I was just looking for some fast, experienced YES or NO's on whether some sizes will be okay or not, with or without trimming.
I don't have or plan on a lift (at least not before buying tires), but I don't mind trimming (at least not TOO drastic).
From past searches I've pretty much figured out that ~265/70/16 will be the beefiest size allowed with minimal trimming, right?

All opinions/personal choices welcome also.

I'm looking @: (all 16")

Terra Grapplers or Dura Grapplers - 265/75

Hankook Dynapros - 265/70, 265/75, 285/75

Kumho Ventures - from 255/70 to 275/70

Yokohamas

and I've heard good reviews of Bridgestone Revos


Thanks in advance

Unless you're looking for a strictly high mileage (long tread life) tire, I'd be hesitant to get the dura grapplers.

I've had both REVO's & Terra Grapplers & liked them both. I think the REVO's have an advantage in the snow, & the Terra Grapplers were quieter on the highway. Of the two, my preference is slightly in favor of the Nittos.

Have you looked at the NEW BFG Mud Terrains? They have a new trad pattern similar to the Krawlers!

Yea, the new version is sweet. I was trying to find a pic of them that I saw online but could not locate it. There was a thread with pic on Pirate 4x but I can not find it.

Nope...that is the old ones. New ones...

[cyronman]

Those are nice.
But I think a little too off-roadish for what I need.

[CrnCnn]

Beefy, they arent gonna dicontinue the old ones are they?

[Triathlete]

I believe (but could be wrong) these will phase out the old ones as the sizes become available.

I don't think so... read on and see what you think:
BFG_MT_T/A_KM_"DT"

One size fits all!

[Triathlete]

Zues, they have started to produce other sizes just recently. I can't find the post but they talked about it on the Pirate forums. Sounds like as a new size is put into production they are becoming the NEW mud terrains. I'll try again to find that post.

[ZEUS]

I don't think they would replace old reliable with something they introduce in a 22" rim size.... that just doesn't seem right. I could see BFG keeping the classic MT in traditional sizes while offering the new hip hop MT in non-traditional sizes though. BFG has been getting killed by not offering more truck tires in the new trendy sizes that other companies have available! But I don't keep up with this stuff as much as I used to either... so I could be wrong.
