TIRES!!! wow
well my 250 06 2WD truck needs rubber.
I am going nuts trying to figure out wich one I should get
I dont want to stick with BFGoodrich rugged trail which is what i have
i DO need a very aggresive tire since I line in New england and drive alot in snow and dirt. I do tow alot with my truck and I would be lying if I said my tired dont get beat. I drive alot empty on the highway and noise doesnt bother me.
I was looking at toyo open country a/t tires
but they are about 240 each!!!!
im getting the 285 70 17 which ever way i go
any ideas?
im afraid to get less expensive tires since I think they are cheaper and if i curb my truck i could blow one out.

I to live in New England, well when I'm not here I live in NE and my truck is there. treadwright Retread Tires - Buy Retread Tires, Cheap Tires, Off Road Tires, and Retreads Online. I got a set of retreads, 285-75-16 but they have all different sizes in different tread designs. They cam with a 2 year 24000 mile warranty and I have towed to and from NC, plowed and pretty much have abused these things, they have worked out great, at $99 a piece I couldn't refuse and I am not disappointed at all with them. I just read the bottom, I've curbed, offroaded during hunting season, ran over trees during the ice storm all without any problems...

Second on the Nitto Terra Grapplers. I've run them on dirt roads and snow with no problems.
General Grabber AT2s and Yokohoma Geolanders look good also.

Toyo AT's are really good tires in snow/ice, so it would be a good choice for you. Shop around, you can find them cheaper.

I've had my BFG Mud-Terrain T/A KM2 tires through pretty much everything except snow. Hands down the best tire I've ever owned. They've taken everything I've thrown at them and taken it in stride. They aren't cheap (around $230 a tire), but so far are worth every penny!

If i didnt want a tire that looked so aggresive, i would have went with the general grabber at2's instead of the duratrac. They are inexpensive and there are many reviews on tire rack that claim that they are better in every aspect than the BFG AT's.

I had the Toyo's Open Country AT's (285/75/16D) on my truck when I lived in NH. IMO the snow performance was average. However they lasted for 50K miles so I definitely got my value out of them. They are expensive I bought mine at discount tire and paid approx $1200 for five. They are a good tire so the cost doesn't seem as bad when you figure in how much mileage you can get out of them.

I was going to suggest the BFG AT/K0 as well. It is the only A/T I've found so far that is good enough in snow to meet winter/severe service requirements (snowflake in mountain symbol).
I don't know what issues you're having with Rugged Trail, but it is a completely different tire than the A/T K0. Don't ignore the Super Duty because you don't like the Fiesta!
As mentioned, M/T's (in general) are among the worst performing tires on ice or icy snow. Not so good on wet roads or in slushy conditions, either. Awesome in mud, dirt, and deep snow.
After the A/T K0, I would choose siped Toyo Open Country A/T.
