New tires

I just recently purchased a 2001 f350 and I need to put some new tires on. I have winter tires already but I want some new a/t. Any suggestions on which tire I should get? Thanks, matt

Hello imdade4 and welcome to FTE.

Tire choice depends a lot on location, driving style, application, taste and budget. Tell us how you use your truck and where you live.

For a general AT tire I would recommend the BFG Rugged Trail, but there are many others.

I live in kentucky on a farm but I'm mostly going to use the truck for one road use and the occasional offroad use but only when neccesary. I've read up alot the falken wildpeak at but I've heard nothing but bad reviews?

I recently bought my truck with 305/70/17 Nitto Terra Grapplers and have the same described driving style as you and have been in love with them. I would recommend them.

id stick with the good ol BFG all terrains. i mean they last around 80k miles if you run them bald. an they have amazing offroad handling. 305/16/75s are on my f350 no lift.

I've heard the terra Grapplers dont hold up real well on such a heavy truck. Bfgs are always a good choice I'm just looking to find something a little bit different from the usual!

I've got nothing but good things to say about the Bridgestone Revo-2's. They impressed me so much when I put 'em on the SD, I put 'em on the wife's Liberty. We both run 'em year 'round. They're a great tire.

but well worth the money when you consider they will last 1 1/2 times to 2 times as long, get better traction, and just all around a better tire than anything else out there..

I've always been a fan of the BFG AT/KO but I recently bought a set of wheels with Nitto Terra Grapplers on them and I must say these are great tires! Not noisy at all and great grip on and off road. One thing i've noticed is the traction doesn't seem to decrease with wear... something I did notice about the BFG's. One recommendation for the Nitto's here!
