Michelin: LTX A/T2

I have no plans on changing out the rims so I will stick with the stock tires and rim combination.

I used to like Toyo MT's, but lately Nitto Trail Grapplers. I had them on my last truck and they were awesome. Yes, I said awesome.

The BFG's aren't in the same league as the Nitto's Trail Grapplers. The TG's blow them away off road and in the mud (of course), but also in towing, road noise, snow, and overall value. I had 35k miles on the TG's that were on the Chevy I just traded in and they looked like at least 60-65% tread left. I wouldn't be surprised to see 50-55k on that set easily. Nitto Trail Grapplers...they are just that awesome.

I had Nitto Terra Grappler 295/70/R18's installed today to replace the 275/65/R18 OEM Conti Tracs I had.
I had 29,000 on the Conti's.

You can order from Ford a 5th-Wheel / Goosneck Trailer Tow Prep Package.

As per the 2012 Ford Super Duty Brochure: "Our factory-installed 5th-Wheel/Gooseneck Trailer Tow Prep Package works with factory-installed Ford Custom Accessory 5th-Wheel and Gooseneck Hitch Kits by Reese (Gooseneck shown) to get you towing in no time."

I must be missing something...I don't see anything like that on my sticker. Perhaps they added it later and just used the same vendor???

This must be the new window sticker that you mentioned before. Nice!!!


They very well may have added this after the truck was purchased then. I didn't get this option kinda wish I did though.

Along with the original question - my favorite tires are Bridgestone Dueller Revos, not the Revo II's. I had them on my 1/2 ton chevy and they were absolutely awesome tires. The tread wore really well too. They were quiet road tires and handled very well off road and in the snow.

If Bridgestone made an E rated version of the Revos on a 20" wheel to fit my F350 I would get a set.

Since that isn't an option I, too, am curious as to what my next set of tires will be.

I currently have 40,000 miles on a set of Revo 2's. Perfect wear, run them at 72psi, tow all the time, great traction wherever I go, quiet.

My favorites are:
Revo and Revo 2
Duratrac's
Wrangler pro grade

I should take a closer look at the nittos I suppose. Never paid any attention to Goodrich either.

I don't think the B&W is a Ford option, at least not that I know of. I added mine after I bought the truck thanks to Epic and a few others on here. This place has cost me quite a bit of money..
