What are the best/cheapest offroad tires?

I have an 85 F250 2WD. I only drive it off road around the farm. The tires it has on it right now kinda look like these.http://www.transporterenterprises.co...8/12/tires.png
If it sprinkles outside I can't even drive in grass because i'll get stuck. Like I said I never drive it on the road so I don't want to spend alot of money on tires for it. Right how it has LT265/75R16 Cooper Discoverer. The manual says LT235/85R16 i believe and I know that's what the spare is. Do any of you have an opinion on what the best offroad tire for me is? Also what should i put on the front?...just leave what's on it? It also becomes one wheel drive when it's in mud or wet grass.

So you just have normal Discoverers? Not the ATR's or the S/T's?

Well, the Cooper Discoverer STT is a much, much better tire for off-road.
Here they are.

Plus they're high mileage on road too.
But you might want something more gnarly for off-road though!

Since you dont drive on the road i would go with a mud tire. some cheaper mud tires are the kumho road venture mt kl71,cooper discoverer STT,mastercraft courser MT. I would just call around some local tire stores give them the size and what kind of tire you are looking for. I had a set of mud king tires 265/75 /16 that held up really well and would go good trough muddy fields great.
