Topic: Tire Suggestions

[oHIobellboy]

What kind of rims would you guys recommend? Again, I have an 04 Av with cladding and drive mostly on the road but do some off road stuff, mostly of the beach variety. Does the off road on the beach have any effect on what rims or tires I need anyway? Thanks. Forgive my ignorance, but I'm new to this vehicle mod stuff.

Can't give you an answer on the beach question. Mine hasn't been on one yet.

For beach driving you want a wider footprint to provide more floatation and a not-too-aggressive tread pattern to keep from digging in. You could go with an all season or all terrain tread and even a mud-and-snow rated tire would probably be OK. You could just keep the stock wheels if you want. As far as tires, any top-rated tire would be fine. There are several recommended in this thread. I'm impressed with my Hankooks so far; I decided to save some money and give them a try. If I hadn't gotten the Hankooks it would have been the Bridgestone Dueler Revo AT's. I've been able to get by with the Hankooks up at the farm so far even though they are only mud-and-snow rated and the tread's not very aggressive. 95-98% of my driving is on pavement so that's part of the reason why I decided to go with a mostly street-oriented tread. I've got a tractor and a 4-wheeler so if it's really sloppy I can just pull in off the gravel road and use them.

I have to agree with the Bridgestone Dueler Revo A/T's. I have had them on quite a few different vehicles and love them.
