I just put Wrangler Silent Armour's on my truck and so far, I really like them. I had the Bridgestone's on before and they were not so good. The Goodyear's ride much better and very good in snow so far. Go to tire rack website, do a search on your size tire. Then check out the reviews of people who purchased them. The Silent Armour's got all good reviews. Don't waste the money on the regular Wrangler's - they are no good either.

So there definitely are a few good one's to choose from... The down side is most of those tires won't wear nearly as well as a Highway All-Season tread.
FWIW I have given up trying to find the perfect tire and have two sets: Studded snow tires for the winter and stock all-season's for the summer when I do my heavy pulling.

BFGoodrich T/A KO is what I ran on my 99 f-250. They worked really well in the snow. A few times while plowing I forgot to put it in 4-wheel drive, still got great traction. Got about 50k miles out of them.

The problem really seems finding tires made in the size I need. Without changing rims, has anyone found decent rubber to fit these 08 350s? There are a lot of great tires out there, but I haven't found any to fit this truck. BFGoodrich web site states no tires available for vehicle.

I had the ContiTrac A/S and I noticed they were wearing badly. If you look at the specs at TireRack.com they are only 12/32's vs 71.5 or 16/32 for most other brands.
I got the Michelin LtX AT/2 nice tire.. $1150 at Sears.
