Tire Recommendations

Hello all,

We have a 2015 F350, srv, 4x4, and the tires need to be replaced. We use it mostly to tow our 2017 Keystone Cougar, 32reswe, which weighs a little over 7000 lbs. My husband also takes it pheasant hunting here in California. Looks like we are in for some wet weather so he needs tires to get out of the mud. Theres a whole other story about our Excursion getting stuck in the mud which is why we have the F350 now!

Recommendations please and thank you.

Wrong year forum but:

Michelin AT2
Cooper AT3
BFG KO2

Doubt you would want something more aggressive than those if you are pulling a travel trailer.

And stock size is 275/65/20 or 275/70/18 for the all terrain options. They have the higher load range incase your truck came with the smaller street tire.

You want an E rated tire with similar load rating of your stock tire. Also look at the tire weight, take a look and make sure it isnt way heavier than the factory options.

On the 17+ the 275/65/20 michelin at2 is 58lbs and the 275/70/18 goodyear at is 55lbs.

Thanks everyone for the recommendations. Both my husband and I are retired, so this will give him something to research!

Recently put Cooper Discoverer ST Maxx 275/70R18's on my 2017 Super Duty F350 and really like them. More aggressive than a standard all terrain but not as much as a mud terrain tire. They ride really nice and have little road noise.

In no particular order: All are good all terrains or a Hybrid AT/MT. If you get in the snow and ice. The falken and wildcountry are hands down winners with a 3peak snow rating.

If you still have the factory spare I would see if that tire is still available. Three tires are cheaper than four. I started doing this because it seemed when I got rid of the truck it always had a new spare tire.

Our mining operation company installs Cooper Discoverer AT3's on all of its pickups and service vehicles. I run Nitto Ridge Grapplers on my personal F250.

Pretty good suggestion. I’ve done this before. Have done it on 2 trucks spares so I only had to buy 2 tires before too (had 2 of the same truck).

Did it on a truck when I first got out of college and was broke. Kept the best 2, bought one, and was able to buy groceries and pay rent on time that month
