Default Tire question
I want to keep the stock size tires but want a more aggresive tread pattern. Are there any choices if I use a smaller rim 15 or 16inch? I dont only do minor trails and its my daily driver so I dont want larger tires or a lift. Any advice??

There are plenty of options. What size wheels do you have now? Is there a want to change them, or simply just the tires?

I have the stock s package 17's. I wanted to do smaller rims with the same size tire just more aggresive tread.
