Anyone know about big tires?

I would go with Nitto's. Most all of the Interco tires drive like **** on the street and wear out quick. (but they do do well offroad)

Out of all the off road tires i have owned BFG and Mastercraft have been the best. BFG's are pricey but lasted the longest, Mastercraft were the best for the money though my last set of mt's were going on 3 years of daily driving and still had about 3/4" of tread when my truck got wrecked. Swampers are very good off road but last like shit on road.

Edit: forgot all about these a friend just got a set on his chevy and they really really surprised me at how beefy they are and they ride very very well.

The Toyo Open Countrys we have on the Excursion work well. they are 35's though. Those TRXUS tires are junk, and you definitely don't want Bias ply on a truck you'll be driving on the road a lot. I wouldn't recommend anything from Interco for something that big, they wear out quick on stuff like Toyotas and Jeeps, I could only imagine how quick the Excursion would wear them.

2000 Excursion 7.3l. In these pics, it has 36" tires on it. They look way too small. Maybe some Toyo Open Country MTs? Ive read some good reviews on those.

the doors look crazy and nice. but that ASS needs to be fixed.. looks way too small and curlin under itself. like a dog with its tail between its legs.

has he been rough on them? my friends had his for a little over a year and you can barley see any wear.

When I ran 40's, I used the classic TSL's. But IROK's are a good choice also.

I loved my Toyo Open Country MT's that I had on my F150. As long as you keep them rotated properly, they actually ride better than most ATs out there. I paid 1600 for a set of 35's. They're high but well worth it because they last a while as long as you take care of them.

well maybe not a good choice for the excursion then

op i would just spend the money on BFG's mine lasted a strong 5 years on a light truck i think those will be your best bet if you want them to last.

He doesn't like small cone area setups, he said he didn't like having the 4 btl's. Iirc it's gonna be 8 12's?

Dafaq? Lol is that a typo or did you not calculate the cone area of 4 18s vs. 8 12s? lol
