looking to get new tires.. will either be on the factory rims or 15X8 crager wheels... truck is a 89 f150, 300 ci, 5spd. i think i wanna stick with factory size for gas mileage as well as keeping the cost down. 235/75-15... dont need anything special but i want it to look like it belongs on a truck and not a mid-sized sedan if ya know what i mean...

any suggestions?

my local sears and pepboys are all running a deal where you buy 3 tires you get the 4th free... or if someone really recomends a tire they dont sell and its a really good price, id order from tirerack or tires.com

thanks!

 

2 wheel drive?

I run BFG Longtrails on my 02 F150 - truck only sees highway miles. Tires are fairly new and are D load range.

Most Michelins are great too. Long lasting tire compounds and top quality construction.
You may pay more for these, but they outlast bargain tires.

You have a choice in "P" tires - passenger tires
or "LT" tires - light truck tires. It is up to you and how you use your truck.

i live in south jersey so i def get rain and sometimes some snow in the winter, not much recently tho. mud would be pretty rare...


any suggestions now?

 

and just to note, there are Goodyear Wrangler RT/S on the truck now...

 

A bridgestone dueler HL alenza, continental cross contact LX or yokohama G051 would be good options.

 

i checked them out.. they are all highway all season tires...

colintirerack... what would the advantages and disadvantages of going with a street/sport truck all season or a on/off road all-terrain?


thanks!

 

all terrain gives you a more aggressive tread designed for on/off road use. The sport all season tires are like car performance all season street tires. They will give you good handling and traction and some snow/ice traction as well.

 

got ya. how do the highway all season and all terrian compare in treadwear? and gas mileage?

 

BFG All-Terrains always look good and won't wear too too heavily on the pavement, I know those stock wranglers do have a bit more of a minivan look. The BF Goodrich All Terrains would be my recommendation, for all around good usage

 

thank you...
