I have a 2000 Dodge Durango SLT 5.9 V8, no lift, all stock. I'm looking to put some BFG all terrains on my Durango but I'd like to go bigger than the stock 28" tires I have on it now. Will 31's fit well? No rub? Some help would be great since I'm not very educated on this subject......I just want to know what a good size tire would be for the truck that would fill up that wheel well space and give it a badass look
I need some help! Getting new tires!!!!!

Search on "Michelin" here for the right details on the "perfect" tire for your setup

I like my BFG's, they do get "cut up" on the rocks, but never failed... They have the harder compound, so they last 10k mile more (20k more than the perelli's scorpions) depending on driving habits and terrain.. If I had the $ the Michillins are top notch. I will fork over the $ when my challenger is due for tires.

Michelin LTX/MS's are the real deal.
When you get 85,000+ miles, a good ride, quality usage, etc etc etc, the $50 was nothing. Put your deal shopping cap on and settle for nothing less.

I think we've had this discussion a few times, I've never seen that kind of mileage. I believe I've had 2 sets of Michelin LTX/MS, great tires and I got over 50,000 but nothing like 85,000. To be fair I'm not very good about rotating tires at the right intervals and do a moderate amount of boat towing in the summer so that affects tire life.
I still may go for them, plan to buy something in November before the serious snow files. Stock tires on my Tahoe are Bridgestone Dueler H/L Alenzas, they have a good ride, are quiet, but not enough tread left for me to want to run them in the winter.

These Michelins mxmv4's (dont remember which way the letters go, but starts with M and ends w/4) keeps my challenger planted to road, even in wet conditions, unless I intentionally floor her or I turn off traction control. I do see their worn down, maybe 60-70% left, at 25074 miles today. I can see the 60K mile mark in about 19-22 months from today.

92,000 on my daily driver Michelin LTX/MS's. I only swapped them because I was driving from Indy to Delaware for the plant tour and didn't want to put 16 highway hours on 92,000 mile tires. Around town, they would have got me another 3000+. There was still tread, along with microcracks in the sidewalls from so many miles/age.
The keys: Rotate Religiously. 8000 miles, rotate. Also, run 40PSI. Always. The tires will wear longer than you want them too.
I have summer and winter wheels now. The second set of Michelin LTX/MS's are on the winters now. They will likely be the last winter wheels for the D I ever buy.
The D does feel and driver BETTER with the stock size Michelins than it does with my flashier Falken's for summer. Much better in fact.

40 cold. Yes. No issues. On a tire that size (31.5s) there is little change when warm/hot.
On my 2013 I have smaller wheels and one would think that would mean a greater possibility of change. Instead, the 4-wheel independent Tire Pressure Sensors show even when hot, never more than 2 PSI swing... usually just one PSI if any at all.
