¡NEED HELP! (M/T or PIRELLI)

I own a 1999 Explorer Eddie Bauer 4x4 V6 SOHC

I want to replace the OEM tires (Firestone 255/70/R16)
but I am not sure about the size of my new tires. My rims are 16x7

I like the aggressive look of the Mickey Thompson Baja Belted HP.

These are the options:

29 x 9.5 - 16LT
30 x 9.5 - 16LT
31 x 10.5 -16LT

Also I like the Scorpion Zero Tire

275/60 R16
285/65 R16

In your opinion, which Mickey Thompson Tire will be the best for my truck?

and anybody knows if the 285/65 R16 will fit my truck?

Thanks

Hi.

The baja belted HP are really cool looking. However, they have bias-belted construction, so they won't handle on-road like a radial tire. Check the FAQ at www.mickeythompsontires.com
to find out more.
I like M/T's, too, but after looking at how much time I spend on the trail (not much), I went with the Baja Radial MTX. They look and handle great, especially compared to my stock RT/s. Good luck.
