tires

I just bought a 2008 F350 Super Duty diesel, crew cab with a 3" skyjacker kit. The tires are stock 275 70R18. I want somes tires that will fill up more of the wheel well and are fairly aggressive. I plow so I don't want a wide tire. Does anyone have any suggestions? Thanks

For plowing, you want max snow and ice traction.
So look for the "snowflake in mountain" symbol on the tire. That is only allowed on tires PROVEN to have superior severe service/winter traction.

I am VERY pleased with my Goodyear Duratracs.
