Default Tire help....hate to be a pain.

I hate asking questions that have been answered before but what is everyone running for 315's out back? I read a lot about bfg kdw's but they dont make a 315/35/17. I need your help finding a good tire that wont fall apart on crappy roads. I dont do burnouts or drag race or crap like that. What have you guys gone with? Anything but nitto's. I dont want a DR cause it has to have good dry AND wet traction.

Again, thanks for your help.

ps, i've used the search button many times

What about stepping the size up/down??


A 305 is nearly as good for width.. Aspect Ratio will be the same too.. Or pretty close..

Code3GT has 335's on the rear of his monster..

315/35/17 is the exact same height as the stock wheels go HERE there is 0% diameter change



EDIT....well that didnt work so just fill in the stock size 245/45/17 and for the next 315/35/17 and ull see the specs and everything or check another size tire u want

Hey, isn't that the link I posted the other day??


Yes, the only size that everyone tosses around that isn't exact is the 275/40R17... It's off by a mil or 2, but it's close enough to not make a big difference..
