Time for 19.5 tires again
My F450 rear tires are pretty worn and getting close to 60K miles on them. Although they aren’t quite gone, I find it better to replace tires before Winter instead of after.
I’m thinking about Hankook DH07s on the rear and less aggressive AH35s for the front, or Toyo M655s for all positions or M920s for all positions. The M920s don’t look very aggressive, but I hear they do really well in snow. I do want M+S rated tires for the front, but steer rated tires.
I’ve read a lot of people have gone up to 245s on the stock F450 rims that are 6 inch. There are also a lot of people who say don’t do it because it might cause the bead to come loose with a heavy load. The conflicting information is that Hankook says their 225s should be on 6.75 wheels. In that case, the 245s won’t be any worse since they recommend 6.75 wheels for them as well.
I’m open to any other brand suggestions.
