Default New tires what ya think.

Looking at either duratracs or km2s size either 32x11.5 15 or 33x12.5. Mostly be driven some trails but a lot during the snow. Not much during the summer except to get to the trails.

I'm guessing 3-4 I'm not sure it has 32s on it now and they fit almost perfect. I might have to shave for 33s

I'm at 4.5-5" and had to shave just a hare for street driving but definitely had to trim for flex space. But I love my 33s!

cooper discoverer STT. amazing tire. outa the 2 you said, duratracs for sure, but the stt is cheaper than duratracs, and they wear so good. my friend shawn has 14k on his without a rotation and the rears only measure 2/32 less than brand new.
