I have been looking to get some new tires for my 2003 sport and was hoping to get a little taller look and maybe ones with a more aggressive tread. I would like to stay on the stock 16" rims. Just wanted to know if you guys have any recommendations on tires sizes or brands.
Thanks in advance<img src="/forums/images/graemlins/cheers.gif" alt="" />

Hello and Welcome to the wire! I did some digging around on this a while ago and found that LT265 75R16's fit fine without any issue. I think if you wanna go larger you will need a body/susp. lift. As far as tire brands, really depends on what type of driving you do (pavement/offroad/both) and weather you are expecting to drive in. I used BFG all terrains and have nothing but good things to say about them: good all around tire IMHO. Anyway, you also might want to check out Montero Sport Online for additional help/support specifically for the sport.
Cheers! <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/kewl.gif" alt="" />

Thanks Shadow for all your help on the tires. I got some 265 75R16 BFG All terrains and they fit perfectly. I also installed a Westin Roof rack and two Hella 3000 lights. I got two more in the deal, so hopefully I can get a front push bar to install the other two on. Anyways, I posted a pic of the lights after tonights late night install. Thanks again for your help. ![[Linked Image]](http://img177.imageshack.us/img177/4755/20070826newhellas003ky6.jpg)
