Hey guys pretty new to the automotive world figure I'd get some opinions from you guys. I daily a K20 (live in PA) and I'm looking into getting some new tires. Been running recaps for about 2 years and it's been a rough noisy ride. I have 16" stock steel wheels, no lift, 3/4ton, 4x4. What tires would you guys suggest? Hoping to not break the bank but more importantly not look like I'm riding on dinner plates. Thanks Guys. Uploaded a better side pic

Don’t have a great side view, but the size you have now looks good. Something like these maybe, minus the wheels:

I have terra grapplers and they are getting hard and don't hold as good as they did new. They are 75% used up but still legal on the tread depth but I would almost call them unsafe if you were towing in the rain. I am going to try BFGs next round because they have a great reputation. That is all my brother in law runs and he seems happy with them.

I've had good luck with BFG AT, three sets, but it's your money and truck. The coopers listed above are good too.

The new falken wildpeak at/3 are awesome. You can get 6 ply I believe. They ride the best and have the deepest tread.

BFG all terrains.

Or if you are interested I have Four Goodyear Wrangler 235/75R15 tires mounted on 15" Chevy Silverado square body rally wheels. Tires are in excellent condition with 80% tread. Wheels came off of a 1985 Silverado from North Dakota and have never seen salt, great condition. Includes center caps and lug nuts. $600 OBO
