Tires

What are some good all terrain tires for a 2000 Expedition 4x4 with the 17.5'' wheels. I want some tires good for offroading but want it to be good on the street a well. The truck mostly sees street duty, occasionally offroading. I want to use the factory wheels and don't want road noise from the tires.Tire size doesn't matter, I can recalibrate the spedo. Just wondering what everybody else has or thinks which tire to pick.

I would run 285/70-17 GoodYear Wrangler Silent Armor tires. These are my new favorites. I used to run BFG AT KO's but found the GoodYears wear better and have far better winter traction (if that matters for you).

BTW, your wheels are 17" or 16", not 17.5", there is no such animal.

I got three winters out of a set of the GoodYears. You will like them, awesome snow/ice traction. Lots of pulling the sleds up the pass

I just installed a set of Yokohama Geolander H/T's on mine. The A/T's seem like they would make a nice compromise.

It's been around twenty degrees the last little bit, and I took the expy out for a romp in the snow today. Tires performed well on slushy streets and snow covered parking lots. Went looking for some deeper snow in an industrial park and they felt like they chewed through the snow really well.

So far I'm really happy with the tires.

They were also discontinued by Bridgestone this past summer. They have been replaced by the REVO II but old REVO lovers do not seem to like them as well.
