Well, all my tires need to be replaced, so I find myself in the market for tires. I would like some help selecting tires.

My criteria is:
1. Dont want to regear
2. Don't want to lift
3. Truck used as daily driver
4. Light offroad consits of sand, dirt, light mud
5. Milage is important to me
6. Fairly heavy duty desired (many ply sidewall)
7. Road noise is bad
8. tread life is not super important
9. want to keep stock wheels
10. Price is an issue, though not an overriding issue (no problem paying for quality)

I currently run 225/75/15 and am considering either

235/75/15 or
255/70/15

Some snow may be required, though if I move back to Alaska dedicated snow tires will be in order.

I do a lot of LOOOONG road trips so keep that in mind please

I have been thinking of the BFG at ko's as they seem to to well at just about everything, though I have read some complaints about sidewalls

Please chip in and give me some ideas.

Again the point is performance, not looks, and the performance is not high offroad performance, but decent on and offroad performance. If I decide to get serious mudding or rock crawling I will buy tires accordingly.

Thanks for the input
