Question best tires

I have a 79 F-150 with a 7" lift and currently have 35X12.5X15 tires, im looking for at least a 36"-38" but i would like to get something a little wider like 13.5-14.50. I do use it for driving to work sometimes. If anyone has any suggestions good tires or were to find the wider tires on 15" rim i would appreciate it.

I love my 38 radial swampers. They ride much better than the bias 38's I had before and they're 15 or 15.5 inches wide. I can't remember which.

I second the gound hawgs, they last forever and do great.
