Tire recommendation
I'm looking to upgrade to 285s. Anyone familiar with tires in that size which are rated at Load Range E? I know you can get the BFG All-Terrain T/A KO in Es. I'm hoping there are other options.

We dont carry this brand, but I have had good luck with cooper tires in the past. You might want to check them out. The Pro-Comp AT's are nice. We had a buy 3 get one free in march. I got the Extreme AT's for my F350. They make just enough noise to sound like a real truck tire and they ride better than those crappy Conti's that came on it.

I found out my wandering problem on my 00 X is the tires are shot. I didn't have them rotated in time and the now rears are cupped and one of the now fronts has belts broken, supposedly. The guys at the tire shop my work deals with says they have had really good luck with the Revo, guess I need to talk to my boss today and get his okay to have new tires put on the beast. He will love me for that. I can only blame myself. It's my company truck and it's my responsibility to keep it maintained. Guess I need to pay more attention before they revoke my truck and give me a Yugo to drive.

I'm in need of tires soon on my '03 Excursion. I'd like to hear what tires are good and at a good price that have worked for others. I'd really like to find a tire review for excursions but haven't had any luck finding one on google.

I have Nitto Terra Grappplers. Before thinking you need load range E, look at the weight capacity of the D. Some Ds are just about the same as Es per tire. That was the case with mine since it is very tough to find an E tire in 35s. After almost 20K miles, I have hardly any wear. I rebalanced them at 10K and rotate at 5K. They are not expensive either and are a mildly aggressive AT.
Good luck

Stewey, I'm not sure why you need Load Range E when you go to 285's? I am running Bridgestone REVOs in 285 Load Range D. Their capacity exceed the GVWR for the vehicle. I tow a 9-10K pound trailer with no problems at all.
