Question tires

Was wondering what kind of tires you guys are running on your stock suspension F-350's 4X4's. I have been looking at MICHELINS. Any opinions I will be thankful for. BTW, truck has BFG's now, hard and spin easily on wet roads. No more BFG's.

Thanks in advance.

I have the BFG all terrain tires and no problems with them. Maybe it is your right foot that is causing the tires to spin.

Bridgestone 265 75R 16 Dueler (revo) great tire, great wear, hold up under load really well. they just re designed the tread and it is great, snow, rain, dry, no alot of tire noise, wont buy another. Of course I am running E rating I hate tire problems and still have a good ride. They are alittle on the High dollar side, like $200 per, but getting 70,000 miles out of a truck tire, well worth it for me. Hope this helps.

265/75/16 Yokohama AT's. I really like them in the snow!! I bought the set on eBay for $545 free shipping!! So far so good. I have a little over 10k on them and they are wearing good. I think I should get about 30-35k out of them and I tow quite a bit. I did gash a side wall on a giant pot hole though. That really sucked!!

Same here. Revos have been the best tire so far. I've had Firestones and BFG's as well and they just don't compare to the Bridgestone Dueler Revos.

Ive got yokohama A/ts 285/75/16. Ive had them for 3 years and some 45,000. No problems, great traction in snow and rain and pretty quiet on the road.

Question for everyone running the 285's, how much did they lift the truck up. Did anyone measure, I would really like to go with 285's and level the truck. I have one large problem with that, I only have 2" between my garage door and the truck roof. I know I could get in leveling the F-250 i had before, just not sure if the 350 is higher stock then the 250 was.

I am stock height (no lift or leveling) and have 285/75-16 E-rated BFG Mud-Terrain T/A KM2 tires. It lifted the truck about 1 1/2 inches (so the truck was raised about 3/4 inch). Effectively you go from a 31.5" diamater to almost 33" (I think it's 32.9").
