Time for new tires...

Howdy! The time has come for me to replace the Toyo Open Country 35 x 12.50 tires that came on my F350 when I bought it used a few months back. I've gotten used to the stance the truck has with this size tire, but wanted something a little more highway friendly.

I'm looking at the Goodyear Wrangler Duratrac in the LT325/65R18 size.

What do you guys think? Thanks in advance!

I'll be in the same boat next year when I replace my nitto trail grapplers. A lot of guys seem to like the Cooper A/T's.

I wouldn't really call those highway friendly but I do like the way they look. They look like a good off highway tire but not snow seeing they would clean themselves pretty good, but in CA that's probably not a worry. The load carrying capacity is pretty good for a tire that only uses 65#.

I'm thinking highway friendly doesn't have to be a total highway tire. Just quiet and comfortable on the highway, but can still take a trail now and then.

The duratrac is highway friendly. I love mine. It will take a few thousand miles for them to break in and stiffen up a bit. Hands down best tire I've had on this truck

I just put Duratracs on my 7.3 F250.

They are not loud on the highway, no louder than my old tires with far less aggressive tread.

Time will tell how well they do in the snow and mud.

I like the new BFG Ko2. No real road noise and handle wet and dry roads good. Will find out about snow this winter.

I had the duratracs on my 2012 wrangler, I had a little over 40,000 on them, they handled great in the snow and off road. Quiet on road too.
I might get a set for the pick up when the time comes.
You wont be disappointed.

Best tires I ever ran I bought for my 2002 24v Cummins I sold in the summer.
Nitto Dura Grapplers with the Dura Belt. Amazing mileage, whisper quiet, very stable for towing my 5th wheel, and they looked very aggressive for a street tire.

I would definitely recommend the Duratracs, especially in the snow. I don't know about highway friendly.
