I'm down to 4/32 on my 2008 Trailblazer LT with Michelin Latitude Tour (245/60/r18). They have been GREAT tires...it felt like a new truck when I got them. Anyway, since this is no longer our family "truckster" and more of a local camping, hunting, fishing and camper towing vehicle, I was hoping to get some more aggressive tires for snow, mud, mild off-road.
What I'm finding is that 18" wheels have very little out there in the way of all terrain (or ANYTHING more than an all season tire) on the market.
The local Discount Tire recommended a Hankook Dynapro ATM. I guess those look ok, but if I had a choice, I'd go with something even more aggressive.
If this truck had around 50k miles, I might consider dumping some money into a small lift, spacers, dumping the rims for aftermarket and get some 30's or something, but she's recently crossed the 100k mark and I don't feel like making that financial commitment now.
Do you folks have any experience with decent 18" A/T tires that I may not have run across yet? (The only ones I've found are the Hankook's mentioned above)
Or, am I stuck with the choice of less aggressive tread OR swapping out the 18" wheels for a more common size to achieve my tread needs?
Thanks!!
