Looking for tire suggestions.......
I have a '99 F350 PS V8 Diesel CC 4WD. I bought it from an auction in March and it had Cooper Discoverer A/T tires on it (LT285/75R16). They are realitively new but I am not impressed with the traction. They don't grab the pavement (or the dirt for that matter) the way they should. I'm looking for something that will give me great traction and looks without breaking my bank account. I think I would like to go a little bigger also. My 'Great White Shark' just doesn't look like it should have such whimpy tires on it.
Any help is appreciated!

Nebraska Tire has some killer prices on tires. You might want to contact them to see what specific tires they have in the size you want.

This probably won't help with the breaking your bank part - but I really like my BFG All Terrains. They handle very well on the road and seem to be wearing very well. I just rotated mine for the first time, about 5000 miles on them, and they were not really even starting to cup at all - still look like brand new. My buddy has a set on his hopped up Dodge and he's got 20,000 miles on them and they still have at least half the tread left!!
My Dad, and a few of my buddies run the Cooper A/T's and love 'em. Like PsdPower said - what psi are you running them at?? If they are at max psi on the sidewall - I think most tires won't hook up near as well.

I had the BFG A/T on my old truck and they were ok. On this truck I put on Bridgestone Dueler Revos and absolutely love them. No complaints here. Mud, snow, or rain not a problem. Wicked looking to boot, check em out

I heard those were good as well, perhaps I'l try them after the BFGs. Tread looks better than the BFG as well. How are they for ride and noise?

The ride is as well as you could expect in a superduty (stock shocks). Road noise is very minimal.
