Question what tires?

What would be a good replacement tire for these trucks? Should I use the stock ones or is the a better one? I don't need an overly aggressive tread either.

I am very happy with my BFG all terrains and while not cheap - seem to be wearing like iron for me. My Dad has about 15,000 miles on a set and when our trucks are parked next to eachother - you can't tell the difference from mine that have 5000 miles on them!!

Maxxis 753, has the same tread design as a maxxis ''' buckshot mudder'' only the
treads are less aggressive so they wear better. I've had both types, mine currently
are the 753's 265/75/16 they are ''e'' rated 10 ply tires, I've only had these for 9k
miles, I was suppossed to get em rotated 3k miles ago, but I haven't had time to
anyhow they all look consistent with each other (the rear arent worn any more
than the front) they ride smooth, look great and their quite on the highway.

I just put a set of Wild Country XTX E Rated tires on my 99 350 crew and they ride great. I bought them at Les Schwab. They are an OEM "multi mile" brand made by Kelly. The added bonus is they are Snow rated and have the stamp even though they're an all season tire.

Also had them siped.

Hard to beat BFG All Terrains. I have serveral sets, long lasting, good ride, and good all around traction. They are rated high at tirerack.com
