tire size for on road and offroad

[1988GMC]

Just curious what the biggest size you guys would run on a rig that will get driven on the road to trails and work on occasion? As some of you know I will be doing an sas and 37x12.5x16.5 but my goal is 40s is that just stupid to try and run on the road and trail? It will have a 14 bolt FF and 10 bolt to start but swap for D60 the first chance I get. I may also put the motor from my mud race blazer in a few years when that gets a transplant. Its a roughly 550hp big block that shifts at 5,500 rpm with stock lower end... for now

40s is not out of the question if you drive sensibly...

Probably doesn't matter as long as your street legal. Any mud tires are going to wear like sh t on the highway anyway

I don't do much high way mileage with my truck now so I aint worried about that I know they will wear worse than street tires

you gotta start some where I have 33s now and they work pretty good

my buddy runs 20x14 wheels on 40x15.50 toyos on the road, gets excellent wear actually..

I would say 37's especially if you planning on flexing it a lot. I am IFS but I will be getting 37's soon and I offroad trails fairly often.
