Default "Rugged" look tires?

Hey guys, I want some suggestions for some tires that will give my Blazer a "rugged" look, if you know what I mean.

I want the biggest tire I can get that will fit on my stock rims.

As for the price range, I don't really care, as long as I'm not going to have to sell a kidney.

On a stock height truck, many people go with 30"x9.5"x15". I know of a few people who go with 31"x10.5"x15 but that may require a small amount of lifting to go along with it. Usually you can get some height by adjusting the torsion bars in the front and using longer leaf spring shackles in the back.

On tirerack, prices for 30" all-terrain tires range from $452 (General AT2) to $588 (BFG MT KM2) Selling one's organs on the black market would likely net you far more than that so you should be good to go

15" ?
I thought the stock size was 16"?
Hmm. I'll check later.

Also, I looked through a lot of the tires on there, and I believe I have decided on this:

Any opinions on how they should look?

I don't know about those tires. General Grabber AT2's are only $104 each (compared to the $103 Kumho's in your link) and I know they're recommended as a very good value and they're rated pretty high on tireracks reviews.

Here is a picture of another member on here by the name of Wolfpack that has the AT2's. I think his are like 30"x10.5"

Hmm, I really like the looks of that.

All I know is, it will be atleast 2 or 3 months before I can get new tires, so hopefully I'll be able to decide by then.

Thanks for your help!
