18" tires?
My truck is coming with some crappy AS tires. Looking for suggestions on a replacement.
I want an All Terrain tire that is not too aggressive and doesn't hurt fuel economy much or sounds noisy or makes it ride rough. I don't ask for much!
I have used Goodyear Wrangler AT in the past but since they added the Kevlar they seem to be less puncture resistant than before.
looking at
Toyo Open Country ATs
BFG AT T/A K02
BFG Rugged Trail T/A
Goodyear Duratrac
Which of these or others do you think would be the best?

I have 18" Grabbers on my 05 F350 since may 2015 and they have worked really well. They are not very noisy (at least i can't heard them over the 6.0, 6.7 might be a different story) and have a ton of traction the few times i tried them in snow and ice (going up/down icy/snowing inclines in 2wd): they only time they lost traction was to be trying to find the limits. Mileage dropped a tad compared to the prior Michelin LTX, but since we don't drive a lot it's the least of my concerns. Plus they look pretty good.
I'll be in the same boat (hunting for 18'" AT ties) after we get a new MY17.

I've run bfg at, Cooper discoverer at3, and bfg rugged trail. The bfg at and cooper's both handled off road well. But I haven't gotten good life out of either. I pull a snowmobile trailer and a gooseneck horse trailer that weighs 6000 empty.
Considering the Toyo open country at this time around.

I'm a fan of Cooper AT3 also. I've had them on 2 recent diesels. They also did well during winter driving conditions. I have nitto G2s going on my 2017 next week.
