Tires

Heading off to school and trying to find a good A/T that has a decent look to it. What are some that you would reccomend? Thanks.

I've always liked BFG's. They aren't too terribly loud, do good in the snow, and have a pretty long life to them.

BFG's all the way, I got 20k on mine and still lots of life left. A bit more pricey but well worth it.

Cooper ATR's have a good look and they are really good in the snow and rain. If you do any off-road, then their ST's might be a better choice. The ATR's are quiet. The ST's however, do make some noise.

I like the Cooper ATR's also. Don't know how they do on snow though.

I put Uniroyal Liberators on my PSD and at 38,000 miles they've still got plenty.

On my g/f's truck I put Nitto Terra Grapplers - they look AWESOME and she said they did great too. She lives east of Denver airport and they get snow like the mountains, have dirt roads, and lots of wind. It gets rough out by her pretty easy, and she was happy with them. They'll be my next tire choice, most likely.

I like them a lot. If you go to coopers website, they sell a tire that is exclusively a snow tire. The ATR rates close to as good as it. What's funny, is that a tire that's good in mud won't necessarily do good in snow. I had a set of ST's and they were OK in the snow too. They were a little loud on the road, and I did notice a drop in fuel mileage with them. The more aggressive the tread, the lower your fuel mileage is.

I was looking at all the good tires above, but decided to try the yoko,s geolandar. Got to grab a good deal. The tires i had that were great for me, Bridgestones a-t REVO. They are pricey 180.00 a tire but they were great in all weather. Got almost 70,000 on these revos now being replaced.

if you're wanting any decent clean out, stay away from firestone transforce AT. they're a good tire, treated me well for 25K thus far but get in some thick mud and you'll be spinning a bit too much. if it's really deep, say good night cos you'll be there a while.

had worn out coopers on it when i bought it that looked like they ought to do better but they weren't on it long enough to find out.

I run Cooper A/T. They run good on the hi-way and will throw mud when you need to. Make sure you check the air pressure every now and then. When I bought my F-250 Crew-cab, (2005) I though it rode like a lumber wagon compared to my F-150 (pulled like heck, as I wanted). I got used to the 'ride' after a couple of months and then though it rode real smooth. I checked the pressure a few times and kept it around 50psi.....I rotated the tires in Jan and read 'the label' and it said "80psi'..... 80?....I ran it up to 80psi and for a few days I thought I had my lumber wagon back...but me happy now as my MPH went up 2-3 MPG.

my door jamb says 65 front/80 rear. i WAS running 65/70 but have been getting some SEVERE extra wear in the middle of the treads that say "over inflation" to me, so i've since dropped to 64/59ish and we'll see what that does. pump 'em back up to pull, of course...
