I have a 2008 F-350 with 275/65r20 Goodyear Wrangler ATS tires on it and am wondering what to buy next. I would like something a little more aggressive but not so aggressive so I get alot of road noise. If somebody can suggest a brand and a good place to buy it would be very much appreciated. Thanks and great site glad I found it!!

 

Hi Jorlan. Welcome to FTE!


What style of tire? AS, AT or MT?

I suspect since you're in Canada you probably want an AT or MT tire.

tirerack.com is a great place to research tires and is a site sponsor. You'll see a link to them in the upper right corner of the page.

 

Tell you the truth I don't even know what those letters stand for. Can you let me know. I will let you know that I do alot of gravel and highway driving. Thanks

 

Listed in order from least aggresive to most aggresive.

AS = All Season
AT = All Terrain
MT = Mud Terrain


An AT is a good balance if you do a lot of highway driving but still need a tire for some off road amd snow. MTs look the best, but will be somewhat noisier on the highway. AS tires are good if you only do highway driving.

Also, towing may play a factor in what you get. A great looking aggresive mud tire may be terrible for towing.

I currently use a BFG Rugged Trail AT tire (stock). Good highway manners, good tread life, decent in rain, good for towing, just average in the snow. A lot of guys are really liking the Goodyear Silent Armor Pro Grade tires, but a few say they squirm too much. Pireilli Scorpions get high marks, but seem to have a short tread life.

 

I talked to Tire Rack and all they have is the original OEM tires and a Michelin LPX AT2 tire. Thanks

 

That's what they show on the web site also. You're going to be pretty limited on selection with 20 inch wheels.
