Hey everyone! I just bought a '98 XLT 4x4 4.0, and it has the stock chrome 16's. The tires on the truck are in pretty good shape, but they are kind of cheap and I don't really care for them. They are Wildcat Touring SLT's 235-70-16. A guy I know has three Goodyear Wrangler AT's in really good shape, size 245-75-16. Also, another guy locally has two Bridgestone Dueller's in apprently good shape that he wants out of his garage for $10. Should I pick up all of these, and maybe put two Goodyears up front and the Bridgestone's on the rear? I hunt all the time, like to find some mud too, and live in MN- the snow isn't far away. Will this improve my traction/truck's performance for my driving habits? I'd think the bigger tire would net more traction, maybe a little clearance, a little beefier look. Also, how much would my speedometer be effected? Maybe I'm better off the way it is..? Thanks in advance for responses, and I am a newbie to trucks- so don't be afraid to put me in line!
Edit: The Dueller's are aso 245-75-16
