BeatBox Posted July 29, 2012 Report Share Posted July 29, 2012 what do you know i work at discount tire that mb striker is a pretty nice wheels actually, one of the few that i actually like. the mb chaos 6 isnt too bad either, id go with ^ ^ ^ over it. this is the next one i would with before the chaos, mb tko tire wise id go with a 31x10.5x15 depending what kind of tread pattern you want, more aggressive the bfg allterrain, michelin at2, goodyear duratrac, yokohama ats normal highway, general hts, dunlop rover, yokohama hts STAY AWAY FROM FROM THE FALKEN ROCKY MOUNTAIN those suck lol if those tires are alittle higher on price range then the 235-75-15 should work, they have most of those in either size Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KiKaZz74 Posted July 29, 2012 Author Report Share Posted July 29, 2012 Sweet. Thanks bro. And would you take 15s over 17s? If i stayed 15s I could just swap my current tires but they just look so small thats why I was wanting to go a little bigger. Btw the truck is like a dark forrst green color. Think all those would look good on there?

BeatBox Posted July 29, 2012 Report Share Posted July 29, 2012 (edited) anything black should look good on there, honestly the two tone wheels are not my favorite but that mb stricker looks pretty good what you can do is trade in your old tires and tell them to give you trade in credit, also look on tire racks website and check tire prices so they can price match them, act like you dont want them and they will give you a good deal so that you buy both wheels and tires(dont tell them i told you that lol ) sucks your ways away other wise id hook you up on everything, if you need lugs...witch you will let me know ill send you some for what i pay for them let me check to see whats available for your truck tire wise and ill post back.............. EDIT: just go in and see whats available in the 17, check the different sizes in that 17 bc the price on tires will also be different(another way to save $$$) hope that helps Edited July 29, 2012 by BeatBox Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WastedTalent Posted July 30, 2012 Report Share Posted July 30, 2012 I'd call to find out how exactly they do it. I'm sure every place is different, even within the same chain. But I'd call and they'll probably say to just bring them in, they'll look at them and give you a price of what they'll give you for em.
