new to me F250

hey guys!

I'm not new to FTE been on the dentside forum for a while. But I just recently traded in my 2013 f150 for a 2015 f250 lariat 6.7 crew 4x4. It has 20k on the odometer. checked the warranty and service history, regulars service, no reported wrecks or damage. I had them put a gooseneck hitch in since that's the reason I stepped up to a 3/4 ton, bedliner and tint. pretty excited haven't owned a diesel before so this is new territory for me any advice is welcome! Heres a pic of the truck before the tint.

The only thing I don't really like are the tires that came on it. I get offroad quite a bit in mud, not mudding or wheeling, to check cattle or pull trailers out so id like something a little more aggressive. does anyone have any suggestions?

Sharp looking truck.

I just stepped up from a 150 to a 250 too, and I am enjoying my decision.

I'm not sure if Goodyear Duratracs come in the size you want, but they may be a decent tire for what you need/want.

JUSTICE1736 welcome to the SUPERDUTY side. Beautiful truck. I'd suggest a level kit with 35s (because it just looks so good!)
But if you just throw some more aggressive tires on it you're gonna love it

Congrats on the truck! I love ccsb white Fords. Truck advice: leave it stock, warranty is to important on the new diesels. (other than a level/lift kit)
Tire advice: In my area, Cooper maxx have been the choice for the logging crews and guys that want a tough tire that is not to aggressive. The shop sees the least amount, if any, flats with them out of all their tires. I am going with some when my new truck gets here. They make your size: 275/65/20 10ply:
Cooper Tire & Rubber Company - Discoverer S/T MAXX?

ive actually ran the ST maxx on my halfton in this size and was going to keep them but the dealership offered me more with all the accessories than I could just buy new tires for. its a great tire and might go with them but I haven't decided just yet. I do know these Michelins are rather slick when it comes to wetroad or mud.

I'm running the 285/75/16 Cooper ST MAXX tires on my 1/2 ton and love em. 4th year and it's my daily driver. Got em in 37s on my F350 and so far no complaints but they're a little different. They're Cooper STT
