tire recommendations and input!?!?....
hello I am looking at buying new tires for my SD F250 but not sure if to get all terrains or mud terrains. My truck has a 4" lift and running 35x12.50r20 tires. I tow a 30ft enclosed trailer and 35ft 5th wheel and car trailers several times a year so mainly city highway driving with occasional sand and trail driving. Any recommendations appreciated.

The federal's seems like a great deal and reviews aren't bad either

I have always had MT's (Toyo) on all my trucks... ran 33's on my '07 Supercharged Ford Ranger, 35's then 37's on my '08 F250 Diesel - I now have a basically stock 2015 F350. On both the '08 and the new truck, I carry a slide-in truck camper on the beach. I just removed the factory Michelin LTX AT2 tires with just under 5000 miles on them and went with AT's this time. I bought Nitto Terra Grappler G2s in the stock size just to get a little more aggressive tread. They look great, ride great and don't chew up the beach like the Muds did. They should be MUCH better in the snow too. There you have it - my opinion. Hope it helps...

I would advise you to choose the ATs based on your use and location.
Aftr the stock Firestone Steetex, I had Nitto Terra Grapplers, Dunlop Rovers, and Kumho Road Venture KL78s.
The stock was 265/75/16, the nittos were 295/75/16, and the other two were 285/74/16.
The Nittos looked the best but got really loud after ~30K. All of them seemed to last ~40K-45K.

those do look nice because the side wall has some deeper thread like mud terrains
