Tire thoughts
Looking for thoughts or experience with the Dick Cepek Extreme Country tires. Plan on getting a set of tires soon, just not sure which of the many would be best. Thanks

Re: Tire thoughts
Hmmmm. All comes down to what you are expecting out of your tires. Super Swamper Boggers are ideal for some...Michelin Defenders are ideal for others. And there is a lot in between.
What are you going to do with your tires?

Re: Tire thoughts
My recommendation is to narrow it down to what type of tire you want; at, mt, hybrid etc. Then go from there. There is dozens in each category, from cheap to expensive and off brand to name brand.

2X- agree w olyeir !
OP- this discussion thread has a lot of info in the thread history on tires as you probably have seen. Keep in mind our trucks are 8,000# +/-; the “type” of off road use is also a big considerations as already noted. IMO tires are a major dependability & safety factor and you get what you pay for. Good luck!
