Best 35" tire?
I'm looking for a mostly on road / moderate off road 35 x 12.5 tire to fit my '05 F250 - so a 17" or 18" rim. I don't want to go "singing" down the road like I do with my Swamper SSR's on my Bronco.
Give me your opinions.
Here's what I've found so far:
BFG AT - my favorite tire for this type of application, but closest size is 315/70 - 17 which looks tall and thin to me at 34.5" x 12
Pro Comp AT - seen many discussion about their lift kits - what do think about their tires?
Interco TRXUS - wild tread design.
Dick Cepek FCII - the most expensive - worth it?
Mickey Thompson Baja Belted HP - whadya think?
Nitto Terra Grappler (325/65 -18 so more like 35 x 13) - look good, but I know nothing about them.
Thanks for helping me make the right call before dropping a load of $$ on my tires!

I'm a BFG fan, so I would go with those. 34.5 x 12 is about the same as 35x12.50, which is a nice looking tire, if looks are important. The BFG All Terrain is a truely great tire. I'm very impressed with them in 33x12.50-16.5 size on my F350 
.
Check out the BFG website for specifics on the exact size of a 315/70-17 BFG AT and what rim width is recommended for them: www.bfgoodrichtires.com.

I just bought the Cepek Radial FC-II's and I love them. I got a 315/75R16's (35's) and I paid $780 shipped to my door. It was the best price of any of the tires I was thinking about. I got them from Offroad Superstores they are online and mailorder only. Good luck
