Do they exist?
My dad just dropped $1,650 on a set of 39.5". The dude at the tire store said they usually last about 15-20k miles. My dad loves driving his truck all around and gets lots of compliments. But, he is afraid they will wear out quick and doesnt want to go with some 35's cause they will look small. Also, I have seen alot of "street tread" tires that just dont look tough at all.
Anyone have suggestions for 39'-42" tires that will last a while. He doesnt go offroading much.
Thanks.

One word...rotate. That is the key to the life of a big mud terrain. That and alignment.

Yup. Toyo or Nitto (Same company) If he has Swampers or PJ Dirt Grips, they wear fast and are loud. The Toyos ride good (For a big tire) ahndle, stop and wear well. Keep them inflated & rotated.

I have 37" toyo muds alittle smaller but they have over 12k on them and still look 60% or so they are not that loud neither I personally will never buy another tire other than these again
