Tires

I recently purchased my first diesel making me new to the whole diesel world. I bought a 2008 4 door 350. The tires that came on it are in alright shape, but I'm going to plow with it and am looking for some rubber with a little more beef.

Any suggestions?
What are the largest size that I could put on the truck without any rubbing underneath.

I'm kinda leaning towards Toyo Open Country MT's.

Thanks in advance.

I have coopers on mine. coopertires.com

I run the discovery STT, pretty agressive but there are others. They wear well and don't keep the heat when towing.

I bought my 2008 6.4L King Ranch used in July this year with 25K on the clock, and was thinking that the tires looked plenty good enough to run a while, but would probably be shopping for new one's next summer. I took the truck to the local dealer for a fresh oil change, and while there, they checked for any other recalls. Imagine my surprise when all 5 Continential tires were on the recall list! So I'm good to go for a while now, with brand new 275/70/18 shoes all around, and the spare too. Hey, if it's free, it's for me!
