Tire Thread - Which to go with?

[Cecil]

It's time for new tires for the F-250.
She currently has 37 X 13.5 X 20 ProComp Xtream All Terrains.\

Thinking of going an inch bigger.

The truck is a daily driver that does a fair amount of highway driving.
I also use it to tow my boat and off road vehicles once or twice a month.

Short List:

38.5x14.50R-20, Pro Comp Xtreme All Terrain Radial (http://www.4wheelparts.com/Tires/Pro-Comp-Xtreme-All-Terrain-Radial.aspx?t_c=13&t_s=157&t_pt=100809&t_pl=3360&t_pn=PCT50385)

38X15.50R20, Toyo Open Country Mud Terrain (http://www.4wheelparts.com/Tires/Toyo-Open-Country-Mud-Terrain.aspx?t_c=13&t_s=160&t_pt=100825&t_pl=4357&t_pn=TOY360190)

I second the Toyo M/Ts, they're a great tire. That's what I'm getting when it's time for new tires.

[jta]

I would do Toyo's or the MTZ's. Those Nittos are loud like boggers.

[88RedRex]

yea the Nitto's suck in the mud/dirt, i like the Pro Comp All Terrains

[CanTheWhales]

Don't be another super-duty with grapplers.....besides they wear fast. Pro-Comps have like 40,000 miles and the mickey's are nice if you can afford them.

[Cecil]

These should be in this week.
Hope they fit on my existing wheels without any issues.
They are 2 inches wider and my existing tires rub on the leaf springs already.

Which wheels do you have?
Any off-set?

[CanTheWhales]

nice choice

[CRXSiR]

i have a set of Diamo DI 17 karat..not sure on backspacing on the wheel or offset but they are flush with the outside of the truck..(they dont stick out past the wheel well)..to be honest they came on the truck when i bought it..they were brand new so i kept them..and i like them..but i really want some 20x10 black Rockstars

edit- after checking out the 4wheelparts website..my wheels are more than likely the 17x10..with a 5.03in backspace and a -12mm offset..

[Handi Man]

Well IDK what kind of noise level you're looking for. But I had Mickey Thompson Baja Claw Radials on my old tahoe when I had my accident. I think they were just put on before I bought it 2 months before my accident. But I drove that thing A LOT & towed boats with it at least every other week if not more. As well as pulling a trailer full of quads from Holiday to Croom about every weekend if not one of my other local trails I had found. And my mom drove it back and forth from Palm Harbor to Bayfront in St Pete every day for 7 months & they still had about the thickness of a credit card before they were going to hit the wear marks between the treads when I sold it about 6 months after I came home.

Their a bit noisy but are good for putting passengers to sleep with the hum. lol And they handled great on the road & are great in the rain due to their tread design. They also do pretty good in the mud & sand as you can see below, they went off road on a somewhat regular basis rather it be pulling a trailer of quads through trails or just going out playing like below. Their a bit more expensive that some of the others.. but well worth the money in my opinion.:

The nerf bars and grille are next.

[Jason.]

Oh man that's gonna look sick.

[Cecil]

Oh mannnnn, looking GREAT.

Need a black 05 grille, 05+ harley lights, strip the steps and do them in hurculiner, and a black 5" RBP tip for that exhaust!

Oh, and to be traded to me for my truck, so I can have it. haha

edit: I don't see those traction bars I sold you, did you ever put them on?

Thanks.
I may be getting a black grille today.
And yes, the chrome nerf bars are on the chopping block as well.... going with black.
As for the traction bars, they are giving me grief.
Seems they won't work with my blocks... I'll have get an aftermarket set with larger dipples.

Here's a few more cell phone pics. :D
