Tires for pickup

Posted by DJL on September 24, 2005 at 23:22:54 from (68.238.10.6):

Hey guys, I need some advice on pickup truck tires. I drive a 2002 Chevy 1500 ex cab Z71 4X4 pickup. It still has the stock tires on it: P265/75R16, Firestone Wilderness AT. Most of the time I drive this pickup like a car, around town and on the interstate. However, I do occasionally pull a 18' bumper hitch trailer with a JD B or Farmall H on it. I also do some off-road driving on the farm and when I'm hunting (every chance I get) I live in N.IL so snow is a concern. Any suggestions on a better replacement tire. I'd like more traction, and a beefier look, without too much compromise on fuel economy,ride or road noise. Could I go up a size (I don't want to have to install a lift kit)What suggestions would you have for brand and size.
Thanks
