New Shoes

I'm looking to put some new tires on my 95 F350. I'm not interested in off roading but I do need something that will give a smooth, long lasting ride. I spend the summer going to rodeos all over Colorado and need a good highway tire. I do have a dirt/mud driveway and need to run through the pasture on occasion but it's 99% road miles. Any suggestions/recommendations for a brand or style that has worked for you would be appreciated.

Any good all terrain would work well for you. Personally, I like the BFG allterrain.

Since I'm taking my little boy with me on the road and his Grandma didn't want anything to happen to him she called Saturday morning and told me that I had an hour and a half to find some tires and get an appointment to have them installed. That Day. I called the nearest Big O and asked 'em what they had. The guy suggested their Sun Valley AT's so I hopped on over there that afternoon. An hour later I was driving outta there with the new tires that Grandma paid for. Put nearly 300 miles on 'em today and have to say that I'm pretty darned impressed. They were smooth, quiet and had terrific traction driving through sleet and rain down the Eastern Slope of the hill from Winter Park, CO. I'll post another opinion after I've got a couple thousand miles on them.

Now if only Grandma would feel better knowing that her Grandson was riding in a truck with a new intake, exhaust and tuner....

Thanks to all for your input!
