Take a good look at the general grabber UHP's, can't be beat for the price. Yeah, it's a general, but it out performs all tires in it's class. I am only seeing 255/55/18 for the 18in wheel though...still worth a look.

 

Nitto 404's. Everybody who has them agrees they do amazing in the rain. It's crazy how you can actually feel how much better your truck drives when it's raining as opposed to some of the other tires I've used.

As far as traction, I couldn't tell you. My truck has never really had traction issues.....yet

 

So this is what i have decided on.
XD series enduro 18x9 0 offset

which is second choice to the American Racing mojave

the negative offset was too much apparently it would stick out 4 inches.

with the BFG Gforce KDW NT 285/60/18

I should have it all on by Friday

 

They're gonna be sticking out just a bit with the 0 offset, too.

Are you 4WD? because that would be a tall tire if you're not

 

Got them on today. they stick out just a little bit. i stood in the bed and looked straight down and could not see the tire do to the slight flair over the wheel well. i like them allot it looks mean.
pics soon
