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.

BFG Km2s and they are made in America, They also lasted me 50 thousand miles with regular rotations. I should add I had them on my F-250 company truck,not the dually in my avatar.

I just purchased a set of the new Cooper (american made) AT3's and love them. They ridr better, are quite, better traction in rain and mud and look great. They are the factory 275/65/20 size.

by the way Consumer Reports just rated them #1 for AT tires which was one reason i decided to try them.

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!
