Tires
 

2008 F 350 275/65/R20 what is the best / cheapest tire???!? All terrian

I ran the stock Goodyear for a year . Get it "Good Year" .
Then ran Michelin LTX load range E . Loved those tires .
Now after wearing out the stock Goodyears on my next truck I tried Nitto Grappelers . Lots of traction but they are noisey and are wearing fast . I wish I would have spent a couple more dollars and went with the Michelins again .
If you plan on keeping the truck go Michelin.

I second the vote for Michilens. I am on my second set. This time I went with the LTX AT2 in a 285/55/20 because I bought 20" wheels. They have been great. A bit pricey but they are AT's and they are quiet.

I just repalced my 275/65/20 Goodyear stock tires on my 08 F350 after 40K with Toyo Open Country AT 325/60/20. They are about 1.5 inches taller. They are load rage D tires. Softer ride, look better and quiet. I had to bring it to Ford to set the computer to a lesser tire pressure so the light would stay off. The stock tires sucked in the rain, always did.

BFGoodrich All Terrain KO
Michelin LTX
BFGoodrich Rugged Trail

...in that order; as far as quality goes. The KO will be a bit louder.

Best and cheapest do not go together. Theres no such thing as a Cheap load E tire.... if there is its probaly junk.I love my cooper SST's. more of a trail tire with big lugs but traction on the road is really better than I thought. Load E also.

I got TOYO open country A/T on mine and with 15K on them they are starting to suck not good in the snow. They are on a 06 chevy 2500hd with 4 wd. I also had a set of BridgeStone Revos they were a great tire. I was buying them whole sale for 100.00 a tire LR E

Michelin LTX is my vote. Probably does not fit in the cheap tire category though. Excellent tire though..

I really like my Nokian Vatiiva's also. Compared to the BFGoodrich All Terrain's My parents put on theirs, These last longer and are better in the snow. I have to agree with the guys above, Load range E just does not come cheap.

Never heard of them.
What application?
What size?
How many miles?

Love the BFG AT KO's but I wore them out in 22K miles on my 2500 HD Dmax.

My Nokians go about 50-55k a set. Lot of the guys around here like them for plowing snow. I've had great luck with them.

http://www.nittotire.com/ best damn tire I have ever owned my bfgs were junk compaired to these nittos.

Michelin LTX M/S. I just replaced my last set which I was able to get nearly 120000 out of on my 2000 Ford Excursion. I don't necessarily recommend the AT2's by Michelin, my buddy has them on his F250 and is probably only going to get about 60k out of them.

Your options are going to be limited in a 275/65 and a 10ply,,
from memory, I think all we stock is the GY ATS in a 10ply that size,, Check out the Tire Rack web-site, you'll get an idea of whats avail. Good Luck!!

I know we stock 33/1250's in a 10ply, an 35's an 37's an 38's

I put some nitto dura grapplers on a cpl months ago, have about 5k on them, really like them so far.

I had the LTX M/S on my truck before the LTX A/T 2's. The M/S tires lasted me about 70,000 miles with regular rotates and balances. Never had a problem with them and loved the tires. They do not make the size I needed for a 20" tire so I went with the A/T 2's and so far I really like them. Only have about 2,000 miles on them but the reviews on the web say that basically everyone loves em'.... I agree with the quote of their not being a "cheap" good tire out there in an E load range.

do micheleins come in at 325 60 20 lr e? Thanks Mark I was going to get bf but maybe chnage my mind if you can get that tire in the size that I need.

I have the toyos opens, and like them, but do not expect a lot of mileage out ot them, same with the terra and dune grapplers. They are fine tires, and they look good, but all seem to wear pretty fast. Someone posted they dont recommend the AT2 michlins because they are only good for 60k, well that would be a gift with the Nittos and Toyos.

Michelin LTX/AT2, they have assymetrical lugs which means they will not cup as bad and less road noise. Easy to balance because they are made well. Will wear as long as any tire. Not as cool looking as some of the other tires.

maybe , I'll check Monday
