Help with tires
I have '08 F250 4x4 with 20 inch factory rims. I would like to upgrade the tires to a more aggressive tread. Does anyone have recommendations on brands that work great for off road (usually hunting in rough back country) and does ok on pavement. I do not want to buy new rims.

Get your check book ready!
Tires for 20" wheels are really expensive.
I don't know a lot of tires that'd are avalible in 20" wheel sizes that I'd recommend, but I know Toyo Open Country M/Ts come in 20" wheel sizes, and they are some pretty good tires for all around use.
Other than that, IF it were me, I would find a set of used 16 or 17" factory rims and buy a set of tires for them(probably cheaper).

Every set of BFG tires I have owned has performed fairly well off road (mostly rocks, some mud) and gets excellent mileage. The current set of BFG MTs on my jeep has about 60K mi and are still going strong.

The SSRs don't come it 20s for a stock sized tire(anything under 35s).
The BFG KM2s may be a good tire, but I don't know.

I would deffinitly find some other wheels. I just put Buckshots on mine and i love em. Cheaper than BFG's or anything else and seem to go most anywhere I point em.

The SSR would be the best swamper for road use, if they had the right size.
