time for new tires--Need suggestions

I'm a BFG Rugged Trail fan, but there are other good alternatives as well. What's on it now, and are you happy with them?

I have BFG Rugged Terrain. Yes, happy but they are on a nationwide company back order.

I've been very happy with Hankook DynaPro ATM RF10, they just get a bit noisier after they've worn about halfway, but great ride, performance, and traction in grass and snow.

I've used Michelin LTX M/S2's for many years. They last me about 75,000 miles a set and stick like glue in the snow. Do not confuse these with the LTX A/S's which are cheaper, wear faster and are horrible in the snow.

Toyo M55s. Great in snow, and even though they don't have a treadlife warranty I get nearly double the miles compared to the 40,000 rated Open Country A/Ts I used to run. They are designed for logging crummies, so they are a very durable tire with excellent sidewall stability for towing.

Main downsides: 1) They are heavy so they can be hard to balance. I use balancing beads now. 2) They have a low speed rating (89 MPH, which is probably fast enough for a diesel).

I'll second the BFG's, but for saving around $40 a tire, i went with General Grabber HTS's. Very happy with them. They do make a more on/off road tire that is just as good.

I run M-55's also. Wasnt aware of the speednrating and can say that they hold up just fine at speeds higher than that. There is no tougher tire out there that i have found.

I put on a new set of BF Goodrich Rugged Terrain 20" E rated tires on my '12 Super Duty last week. I have ~ 600 miles on them and so far my truck is making ~ 19-19.8 hwy mpg with them. Haven't tested them off road yet and they will never touch snow, but looking a the tread design I suspect they'll do very well with those attributes including smooth on road characteristics.

BTW... They're a very good lookin tire to boot! :B

Well, FWIW, you could get a extra set of used rims and mount snows on them and keep your good rims w/ say summer/all season tires on them. Living here in upstate NY, that's what I do. Makes tire shop happy too as it's a quick change over (having bought all my tires from them, there's no charge for swap overs). For my "summer" tires, they are Pirelli Scorpion STR's all season. Came on the truck when it was new and very happy with summer performance. They were okay the 1st winter, but went south the next. That's when I decided to have 2 sets of tires.

I don't know if these would work for you, but I'm running Firestone Transforce A/T's on my 2000 Expedition Eddie Bauer, Load Range E.

They have great tread depth and seem to be wearing very well so far. The tires seem to be good quality construction as well.

I see your in Camp Hill, PA, know the area well. I bought them from Nello Tire in York.

Good luck.
