Recommendations on A/T tire and size for R18

Hey guys,

I'm looking to buy my first set of tires for my truck (2006 F350 SRW). It has the factory 18 inch rims and the continental tire which is terrible off road on the farm. My question is what all terrain tire do yal recommend and size. Factory is 275-70-R18 but no opposed to find something slightly bigger to fill the fenders in some (no lift or leveling kit). I like the BFG AT but would like feed back on that tire and others.

Thank you for any insight or suggestions.

I have Toyo Open Country 285/75-18's on my 2006 F350 SRW...but I would advise a front level lift. At almost 35 inches tall I think they would rub on compression with the wheel turned. I seem to recall that some on this forum have installed these tires without the level lift and say they are not having a rubbing issue.

Go with the BFGs, I've run every brand out there, and most aggressive ones are pretty close when it comes to traction. But I've never seen a BFG fall apart like some of the others, and i always get long wear from them.

Just my $.02
