mud terrain in a load range e?
Im looking to replace the 285/75/16 BFG ATs that my 2000 f250 came with. i think i want to go with some mud terrains but i pull a 15000 lbs gooseneck horsetrailer everyother weekend and need to handle the weight. I still like to play when the trailers not hooked up and the BFG AT dont really impress me. I was thinking a 305 would spread my front end weight out a little better too. My back end stays on top of soft ground but the PSD makes the front cut in pretty bad. Anyone know of load range e tires in those sizes or a load range d with 3400+ lbs rating?

I run the 315/65R18 Pro Comp Extreme A/t's on my 05 SD. I know it's not a true "mud terrain", but if you are concerned with the street manners and load capability, then these do the trick! I also tow a lot and take my truck in the snow (it's also used as my plow truck) and mud (believe it or not, I use it when I go hunting down at the farm). They handle great on road, are a load range E tire, and take what I give it off road. Granted, I don't mud bog the truck or take it through big swamps (that's what the 150 is for!!), but I do use it as a truck!

i do hate you, no jk, but i think everyone nkows how i feel about the mud grapplers, if hes going to be towin a horsetrailer alot then hes going to also want a tire that wont wear out very quick, i dont care what you say, i have never seen or heard of a mud grappler gettin good mileage and tread wear, so unless hes towin it constantly on a dirt road, haha ya right, then the mud grapplers are not the right tire for him, plus they just plain suck hahah

The trailer is a Sundowner 3H with living quarters and its insulated so they should be bothered.

Hey RacerLT, one thing to keep in mind is that most 285/75R16's in load range D are rated for 3300-3400 lbs per tire.
In fact I have not seen very many tires, mud or otherwise, in a load range E in that size.
