Tires for my truck!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hey i finally got my dad to let me lift his 1998 4runner 4x4. i am going with the old man emu 2.5 inch lift with medium heavy springs. it will be a road truck but will see some camping trails.

i am wondering what the best size/make tire would be to make it ride well but still look aggressive.

any thoughts?

thanks man ive heard good things about those tires.

im looking at 265/75r16 as a size. it will be a little taller but 10.5 wide so hopefully it wont rub. or should i go wider?

I'm actually picking up a set of 265/75r16 Hankook ATm's should do exactly what i want for them...Won't need to lift the rig...they basically equate to a 32x10.50

Well you called it a road truck which will see some camping trails. I think you don't need anything too serious for that. 10.5 wide will be fine, and you won't hurt so much in mileage and power loss by going to something wider and heavier.

Next time I buy tires I'll probably go with these. Great all around performance. Goodyear Wranger MTR.
