Nitto Ridge Grapplers, 285/65/18.
Miles - I have 18,000 miles and they still look like the day I put them on.
Driving - I drive mostly highway with some dirt roads when camping.
Pro's - I like the aggressive look and the traction.
Con's - They are heavy, lost about 1 mpg in all situations.

 

The 2001 F250 has Hankook Dynapro ATM RF10s. This is a great tire and is Triple Peak Mountain Snowflake (3PMSF). I have about 8000 miles on these and they will be going into the second winter. No obvious wear, low noise, great on snow/ice, a great daily driver tire suitable for daily driving including towing and off road.

2015 F250 has new this fall BF Goodrich KO2s. Again, these are 3PMSF tires and are great on ice and snow. I have about 2000 miles on them with a lot of time out elk hunting. These tires replace Michelin ATs that were OEM on the truck and about worn out at 45,000 miles. The KO2s do not ride as softly as the OEM Michelins, but have much better traction and are a heavier AT style than the OEMs. The KO2s give you a lot of confidence off road due to the heavier design. So far, so good.....not sure if they are worth the price difference compared to the Hankook ATMs…but the KO2s sure look great. My truck has lost about 0.5 MPG with the KO2s over the OEM Michelins.

 

Cooper Discoverer RTX. Bought them at NTB on sale two or three years ago

I hate hem. Mushy ride, soft sidewalls. Would not buy them again.

Truck doesn't get a lot of driving anymore, it just sits there rusting away most of the time. Probably less than 6-7,000 miles on the tires. At this rate, the truck will rust away to nothing before the tires ever get replaced.

 

Currently running the stock Michelin tires from the factory. They came on the truck when we bought it. There was no money in the budget for new tires. On my previous 2011 F250, 3 brands of tires. The OEM were a BFG on a 17 inch rim. They were in good shape and ran them for about 10k miles before replacing them. I found a cheap set of 18 inch rims. Those rims got Cooper Discovery AT3s. However, they only got about 32K on the set and were worn out to my liking. I might have gotten another 5-8k but traction was getting poor. At this point the truck was paid for and only 100k on the odometer. So I had a set of Firestone Transforce ATs installed. Only one tire shop in the area could get 18 inch tires within the same day. Everyone else including the local large tire places claimed it would take 2-3 days to get tires. The Firestone guy was like I can have them after lunch on a Saturday. They ran pretty well. Good off road when I needed them off road. Ran great on road. The tires looked pretty new at the time of the accident and only had 15K on them. The current truck has 29K on the odometer. The tires still look good. When either money or the time comes for replacement tires, then it will be a decision to be made. I had all kinds of suggestions. The goal is to get the truck's note paid off. Tires will be a treat. Maybe a set of custom rims too.

 

I am running Toyo Open Country A/T 295/65/20 and i love them. I lowered the pressure down to 60 in front and 65 in rear when im not towing. They are quiet and ride really good. I Had 35x12.50/20 Toyo Open Country R/T and they were a little to much.

 

37x12.50r18e Nitto riidge grapplers. 21k on them. Nothing at all to complain about. Ride good and Still look good. Much better traction than the terrible riding bfg A/Ts I had previously.

 

My truck came with cheap Milestar Patagonia AT tires. Definitely not what i would have chosen but they look decent and i have been impressed with the handling and traction on both wet and dry pavement. They haven't seeen snow or real mud yet.

 

Cooper Discoverer M+S LT275/70R18 studded. Great winter tire, best "on-road" winter tire IMHO. Russ

 

 

I have Mickey Thompson ATZp3. Only have around 2,500 miles on them, but so far they've been great. Haven't been able to really put them to the test, but light mud, around 6" of snow and icy roads have not been a problem. I love the look of them. They are more aggressive than a normal A/T without taking things too far on a daily driven truck that sees fairly light off road use. They also have a 3 ply sidewall.

 

 

Yes that is why i did the upgrade too. I tow a toy hauler loaded with Harley's and need the peace of mind. I love them.

 

Goodyear Wrangler Kevlar load range E. Yes!

 

Big o a/t nothing special, was going to get Cooper a/t m+s, had them on a 150 and were pretty good, first snow this fall I thought I would test the big o first before spending a bunch of money. Anyway, they did good enough.
my feeling is these trucks are so heavy on packed snow if you're going to fast for conditions and it breaks loose you're in trouble.
I've had about every kind of tires on many 250's over the years, some tires are in fact better than others but ,imo, a good snow tire can't do all the work.
