Tire Help
Hi Guys,
I installed a 4.5" Icon lift on my 2004 F250 last Saturday and I am looking for new tires. I have a set of 17x10 Weld velocity 8 wheels and I am looking for 315/70/R17 tires. What tires would you guys recommend for a daily driver that will see some offroading during hunting season and bad weather. I live in the High Desert of So Cal. so, see all kinds of weather. I am leaning towards BFG A/T or Toyo M/T but, I am open to a good all around tire. Thanks for the help.

I've had both of the tires your looking at. I've only got 2300 miles on the toyos, but I wore out a set of the BFGs. The toyos are getting a little louder now, but I still prefer them. The toyos seem to have a softer compound and give great traction on the street. On dirt roads and pastures, the do break loose easily, but they turn up more ground than the BFGs ever thought of. I don't regret the change in the slightest.
