I decided that the Cooper Discovery STT tires were the best choice for my budget. At $150 installed each, they arn't too bad.

I'm getting them in 265/75/16 or 32"x10.5". my stock tires are 30.5, so i won't need much of a lift.

My only convern is there is no tread on the wall of the tire, somthing i find very usfull when jumping curbs to get into tight paralell spots in Boston.

I checked around and no one does siping. It seems to be a south/west thing. Has anyone tried using a dremel and doing it by hand?
 






You may want to take a peek at Pro-comp's they have a deal going right now to buy 3 get 4th free. 4wheel warehouse for one, desert rat and some others. As far as sipping. I have done it to my tires. I definetly helps in traction, but when off roading they get chunks take off easily.
