Help choosing tires!

I am leveling my 04 F250 Diesel and putting 18" wheels. I need help with tires as I don't have a clue. What I would like is to find out what you are running how many miles are on them and what you like and don't like. You can even rate it on a scale of 1-10. Let the fun begin.

What type of tire are you looking for, aggressive mud tire? all terrain, highway ?

How wide are your new wheels and what is the offset?

Snow?

Do you tow? Haul heavy stuff?

Do you want an aggressive looking mud tire?

I always recommend that a Super Duty owner get Load Range "E" tires, but some "D" tires will support as much at a lower pressure.

I would like All Terrains...I live in Utah and therefore am in the snow. I pull a 19 foot boat, 16 foot enclosed trailer with 4 wheelers, and a 30 foot toy hauler trailer. No not at once so all of my towing is for fun.

Its because of there weight and wheel base on the longer models, f150 and rangers dont have this problem with weight and M/T is not a must fer them. I had all 3 and offroaded all

I have had 4 fords and ran BFG's on all of them. I switched from Toyo, not because they are a bad tire per-se, but because they are expensive and i only got 40k miles out of them. The BFG's i get 55-60k per set. After 7 sets of them, i wont run anything else
