Love the look of the Kelly's. What size are those?

 

Those are 285/75R16. 33.1" dia x 11.3" wide.

Made by Goodyear, USA made.

 

Stick with the Bridgestone A/T Duelers, i am on my second set, 1st set lasted 86,000, I am almost at 150,000 and they are still good and will last until next fall.

 

If you want the best highway ride and handling, go with Michelin’s LTX all-season tires. They don't look military tough but they drive like a dream on road, had them on my Envoy and it drove like a Caddy!

 

LMFAO! Owned!


Back to the thread on hand. If you are looking for comfort and minimal cab noise your best bet will be an A/T tire. If your looking for enhanced off road performance and dont mind the extra noise an M/T would be your best bet. I have owned BF A/T tires in the past and they wear really well. I currently have Nitto TrailGrapplers in 315 size and am very satisfied with the tire. The road noise is a little more than the stock duelers but the overall performance and look surpasses the noise increase 10 fold. Good look on your search.

BTW if you see a specific tire you like and the owner is available talk to them. Unfortunately we cannot test drive a tire before purchase. By asking an existing owner of their real life experience you will start developing a better idea of the product you had in mind.

 

The Kelly TSR ride smooth and quiet, yet you can stick your finger between the lugs.

Did you stay with 16" wheels?

 

x2 based on your driving description. If you want something a little more aggressive, go with a quality AT tire, such as the goodyear silent armour

 

Went with 17" wheels. Got it all mounted friday. The tires are just as quiet as the factory ones to me on the highway. And the tread is aggressive enough for trail use and light mud.

 

Weather is nasty so the truck is dirty, but here's a quick shot I took from work a few minutes ago:
