kinda need to wait til you know the width of the rims to decide on widths, but bfg kdw2's are cool. . . .check tirerack to see what they have on there.

Another vote for the GSD 3 check on the pricing and see if its in your price range if not you should let us know what you are thinking to spend on the tires.
