Tires

Good Evening,
What tires are you guys running these days?
I'm looking at the BF Goodrich All Terrian T/A KO. Thoughts?
02 F250 V10 103,000 miles.
Thanks

Cooper STTs now. Had a set of the tires you are talking about in 315/70/17 and just did not like them, didnt really have any problems with them but they were bald and the tread pattern was boring to me

We have a 2002 Ford F250 4x4 V10 that we are going to put 285 75 R16 tires on in the TA Kos. Our 86 F150 4x4 302 has 31 10.50 R15 TA KOs and we love them thats why we want them on our 02 F250.

I have the TA KO in a 285/70R17 on my truck, slightly larger than stock. Have run them for a year so far and am very pleased with the wear, towing ability and traction.

The downside, they are a little noisier than the stock ATs and they do collect rocks.

I am on Nitto Trail Grappler these days. I have had a few sets of the BFG's on different trucks and have no complaints from either. For some reason tires seem to wear fast for me not sure why?

I've run them for thousands of miles on numerous trucks. Great overall tire.

I wore out a set of the Cooper Discoverer's. They stuck real well and cornered nice, but I don't remember what load range. My current set are BFG's MTA's load range "D". They stick well to the road, but don't corner as well. They seem to have more sidewall flex. I think I'm going back to Coopers when these are wore out. B

No, that is about what I paid last year, up here deep behind the cheddar curtain.

You can always compare the local price to tirerack.com, but remember to include shipping.

I just put on Goodyear wrangler duratracs from belle tire! Out the door for $1137 in a 305/70/16 E, they feel a little squirmy on the highway, there not very loud, traction in all conditions seems great! I've only put on about 2000km so far I'm real happy!! Just my 2cents.
