Default Tires?

Looking to go 35x12.5x17. Want a mean looking tire but needs to drive well and last a decent amount of miles. I dont go offloading but want an "aggressive looking" tire. Will be just highway/street driven tho.

Nitto Mud Grapplers. they are an E rated tire and a little on the heavy side. they look mean and last long. Also one of the quieter mud terrains on the street. i've been running mine for about 15K now and they still look new

Do you mean trail grapplers? Because mud grapplers are very loud on the road. Both are great tires.

Yeh. Trail Grappler is an AT tire. Whether Nitto or some other brand, ATs are what you probably want.

I have been very happy with the Goodyear DuraTracs. They are a very aggressive all terrain tire and handle everything I have thrown at them.

315/70R17 is as large as they come though.
