Tire recommendations please
2021 F250 Platinum
The Michelins have been great. But I would consider something a little more aggressive looking or larger on the stock 20” wheels.
I spend most time on roads and highways. But I do a bit of dirt and woods on our small farm and other job sites (I’m involved in agricultural development on other farms).
Not planning a lift but a 1” or 2” front level I would consider.
thanks

Goodyear Duratrac. I know these aren't a popular choice but I've had good luck with the two sets I've owned. The set I currently have on have 41,000 miles on them and I could probably get another 5000 easily is I wanted to run them out. They do get loud when they get wore down.

I bought some Toyo Open Country R/T Trails which I was told to be the latest evolution of the AT2/AT3 line, I believe that to be true based on my experience with them. Happy with them and glad I took the guy's recommendation, wish I would have found these sooner on the last truck. Just a very slight hum in the mid range (if you listen for it, subtle), nothing with windows up or at speed. Been good all around in dry/wet, solid on loose surface. No ice or snow yet. I like a little lug on the sidewalls; looks good and like the protection, they work. Do a little research on these, seem to have great feedback online.

I can confirm also , i have these RT trails too on a dually work truck and my daily F250 , i am very impressed with them both towing and daily driving, recent a lot of rain and they did perform well in this condition too.

Thanks for the replies. A lot of love for those Toyo’s. How’s the noise? I assume louder than the Michelins.
And what size tire on the stock 20x8 wheels?

My rims are 20x8.25 with 275/65 tires. The 275 fits pretty square on there. As for height I'm not sure if you'd go any taller on the are. If I go full lock while moving I can make it barely touch the sway bar in front, but these are on a 450 and I don't know how the turning radius compares to a SRW truck, don't know what axle they have. It wouldn't touch on a 350 dually so I would guess not on a SRW also.

The Michelin tires work well for me as an all around tire. I have had better snow/ice tires, better towing and hauling tires, and better wet weather tires, but not in one tire.

I still have at least another 10k before I need to change my stock GY Wranglers, but at the moment I am looking to go with a set of Falken Wildpeak's. I have read lots of great things about those considering noise, wear and traction on wet roads, including some snow and ice. And they do look a bit more aggressive than the Wranglers, however, they are still mild looking when compared to some others. And the DuraTracs are still my close second...
