Firestone replacements
I bought a used 96 F150 4x4 from the local Ford dealer. It has Firestone Wilderness AT's 31 x 10.5 R 15's. made at the Decater, Illinois plant.
I need to have them replaced. I currently live in South Alabama and drive 90% on road. Sandy soil offroad.
I have read several reviews/articles about the BFG AT's being a great all around tire. Anybody have any suggestions?

Ive used them for the last 10 yrs on my F150 with zero problems other than they are noisier than a tire with a less agressive tread . Since you do a lot of hwy driving , if the noise is a concern for you , maybe a tire with more of a light truck / Suv design would be better ? I like Michelin tires , but you will pay more for them . The Bfg A/T's Ive used have all delivered long wear , no problem to get 50K miles from them .

First of all - if you are thinking that you will recieve new tires from firestone you are wrong. The size (and the only size of the wilderness AT tire) is the P235/75-15 from the illonois plant. The dot code will be "VDHL" I was fortunate enough to get my worn out firestones replaced for free with brand new BFGoodrich Radial Long Trail T/A's. ANd so far they are a great tire that are responsive with less road noise than the wilderness tires.
