Looking to buy new tires! I'm currently on 275/70/18 and need new tires! When I bought it the previous owner had put miss matched tires on it so I have bfg all terrains in the nitto grapplers in the front... I have the machines to change and balance them myself so am just looking for tire recommendations and websites to buy from

Discount Tire all the way to get tires. Either a shop near you or discounttiredirect.com. They'll match anyone else and usually discount it slightly if you talk to them.
I don't think you can go wrong with the grapplers. I ran three sets in a row on my last truck and loved them! I have a set of Toyo M/T's on my Titan (that's what it came with when I bought it) that I really like as well, but when it comes time to change, I'm gonna go with Terra Grapplers.
I bought a set of duratracs off Craigslist for $600 with 600 miles on them. They were on a Dodge with a blown engine. I love them. I would look around before you drop the cash. I got an exceptional deal, but there are others out there too. It was a little more of a hassle than just buying and no warranty, but the treadware warranties are bull sh!t anyway.
Discount Tire & ask them nicely to give you the Friends & Family Discount
I too like discount tire. they will hook it up plus they are everywhere and its easy to get in for the rotations and such. . I personally love the Mickey Thompson Deegan 38 tires. They are surprisingly pretty quite and well behaved on the street. if you're looking for a mud terrain check em out
What are your needs? Where will you be driving?
I just got a great deal on Nittos from BB Wheels online.
Do you have any picture with the toyo m/t? I love the way those look!
I do a lot of high way driving but I do live down an 8 mile dirt road that is pretty rough

I would go with the bfg ko2s or the goodyear duratracs

Can't really not pick up a deal like that one.

That aside though, as I do every single time I see a tire thread, my vote goes to BFG KO2s. Best tire I've ever had.
I'm on my second set of Bridgestone Dueler AT Revo II. A bit noisy on the highway but I've gotten good mileage from them.
I have some atturo Mt look beautiful but I'm goin with bfg ko2 next go around
For highways, I liked the Dueler Alenza but then tried Michelin Defender LTX lasted a lot longer than I was expecting - they were quiet and handled snow and rain without issue. Would have bought them again but for the mileage I was putting on the tires, the cost didn't make sense so as I went into using the Titan for a 2nd vehicle and getting around in the snow, I went with Geolandar A/T-S and have been really pleased with them. Quiet on the road and handle rain and snow without issue.
Not as long lasting as the highway tires but still better than the Wranglers that came with the vehicle.
Another vote of BFG KO2. Bought them before hunting season, got through thick mud and deep snow without having to chain up. Best deal I could find out the door was at Costco.
I've run two different setups on mine the first was stock size General grabbers. the set I'm on now are BFG ATKO's in 275/70 R18's. Personally I thought the Grabbers were better in snow and ice, however with me switching tire size it could be the KO's are wider and tend to sit on top of the snow just a little bit more. The Grabbers were a 4 ply tire instead of the KO's 10ply. The softer tire gave it a better ride than the stiffer KO's but I think the KO's handle better in the mud.
The Grabbers being a softer tire wore out way faster than I think these KO's are going to. There are a lot of good tires out there for these trucks and if you decide to go bigger you will open up your options. On a side note if you go bigger you should think about either getting 5 new tires of the same size (one for spare) or see if they have a decent used one to put on the spare rim. Using tires of different sizes can possibly mess up your drive train. especially if you have to drive a long distance on your spare. That is if your truck is a 4WD.
