I am going crazy researching tires. Here is what I have:
2000 Mitsubishi Montero, OME shocks. I am running 32 x 11.5 x 15 BFG AT.
I want to go up in size. I have 16 x 8 rims to switch to. I am seriously looking at 255/85 16 tires which leaves me with BFG MT KM2, or Cooper and a few others. I live and wheel in Colo. and Utah, and it is my daily driver.
Since I have the BFG AT to run in the winter now I thought about getting something like the KM2's for summer and offroading. It would be silly to put on BFG AT again (I think?).
Question 1: AT or MT? I had BFG MT in the past, they were fine on road but not great (mostly noisy. New ones are supposed to be better?).
Question 2: 255/85 16 or 285/75 16? How much will my truck feel the difference? I have no difficulty with 32x11.5x15 offroad.
Thanks in advance!
