    Alright boys/gals. I am in the need of some tires here soon. Problem is I am out of work right now and am going to school full time. I am looking to get a full time summer job to pay for tires.

    Here is my situation. I have a 04' with the 5.4 I have a Gryphon with a 93 Custom tune. I'm averaging 16.6-17 mpg right now. Which is really great. That is me babying it and that tune. The tune has helped my MPGs a lot.

    Well I want to get a set of aggressive set of tires (hell who doesn't). But looking at the prices of the BFG KM2s, Toyo Open Countrys, etc... are expensive :eek:

    I really can't justify spending ridiculous amount of money on those tires, when I off-road only 10% of the time. In the hunting season I go in some swampy areas at time but I haven't had many problems with my bald tires now so I don't see that being a problem.

    What would y'all recommend for a good affordable tire, I wanna go for a 33x12.5x18 or 295/70/18 somewhere like that

    I just want something I'm gonna get good mileage for my money. (longevity)

    ****I am not gonna do Treadwrights, just wanna get that off the discussion :D****

    Are those coragias the same ones that are on West's truck correct? Hell we have similar trucks, that would give me an idea of what they would look like on mine
