A tire question

Hey fellows;

I am getting ready to replace my OEM tires, the Firestones. Any good suggestions? I don't go off road, but I do tow a 9K trailer.

'02 F250 CC SB 4X4 7.3 PSD.

Thanks

Frank

Toyo Open Country AT's.

The LT265/75R16 is Load Range E and they offer excellent wet road traction with a quiet ride. Expect a tread life of at least 50k miles.

Another thing, does anyone have any thoughts on Uniroyal Liberator AT's? They are some less than the Toyos but I haven't had uniroyals on anything but a passenger car. Liked them there though.

I dont care for uniroyal. I dont think there wear very good on truck apps. The best tire on the maket right now, IMHO and many on this site, is the Bridgestone Duller A/T Revo. Alittle high priced, but you get what you pay for. GL

I agree with Texans. The Bridgestone Dueler A/T Revo are a very GOOD tire. My father has a set on his 2001 F250 SD CC 4x4...and they wear excellent, quiet on the road, and good traction on wet, snow, and dry. Lots of $$$...so that is why I do not own a set for my SD.
