Help picking tires
Hi,
I am debating on to up grade my 235/75/15 to 265/75/15. What are the advantages to upgrading? The tires are going on a 1994 F150 longbox 4x4 with a 5.0, automatic, and with 3.55 gears.
I mostly drive my truck back and forth to work 10 miles one way city and highway. With a occasional rough dirt road of 20 miles. I want something that is a all-terrain to handle rough roads. I am usually out before the plows are out in the winter so something that will handle deep snow and or slush.
I am looking at either the Cooper AT3 or the General Grabber AT2. Any advantages over one over the other? Or are there any other better choices?
Thanks, Kelly

Well there are these, which I have and are rated for snow use. About the same price as the two you listed:
Goodyear Wrangler Duratrac. Mine are 33x12.5x15 but they make them in 235/75R15 and 31x10.5x15. Heres a link:Goodyear Wrangler DuraTrac

Never used any of the tires you listed, always ran BFG A/T's on my trucks and Jeeps. They have done great in everything we have around here. We don't get a whole lot of snow, but I have driven them in up to 10 inches of it with no problem. They are more expensive than some of the others but there is a reason for that, they last.
