Everything I drive has these tires. My personal truck 1995 powerstroke, my work truck 2016 f150, and my wife's 2010 4 runner. I drive the F150 on bad gravel roads daily with no problems.

There are several thread on here about tires. I'm a little stumped on how little information people supply. You left out your current Tire size and if the rig was modified in any way. How about how much driving in what conditions commuting and such. I will say that the tire rack information is pretty good.

Personally I would get some kind of all terrain have a full size spare on a wheel and link chains all the way around.
I love 2 tires neither are cheep. BFG AT and Toyota M55. Both are currently to rich for my blood but the best 70/30 tires on the market IMO.  my brother ran some cooper's when he was logging and loved them almost as much as the M55. Coopers were a lot cheaper.

I've really liked my BFG KO2 tires. They are the BFG all terrain tire, with a more aggressive sidewall.
:yeah:
Nitto terra grapplers were terrible on my truck in the wet and especially in the snow, duratracs all the way!
:yeah:

I've run 6 different types of A/T tires (Nitto, Toyo, Hankook, General, Les Schwab Wildcat) in under 5 years and the KO2s have been the best by far. Running a '01 F150 Supercrew and 275/65r17. Road noise is minimal, fuel efficiency is par, traction is great, and so far wear has been minimal. A bit over $700 delivered.  I run ~50/50 and am a low annual miler, 6-10k a year, a large portion of which is on "primitive" or worse roads. Nice grippy tire with firm tread, I have had ~1" of side tread support the front or rear of the truck on a rock with no sag.

On my 08 JKU i run the nitto trailgrappler in a 35x12.5x17 and we do everything in the jeep from hard wheeling to dirt roads and the wife uses it to go to and from work, we have about 10k on them so far and can hardly tell any ware on them.

On my 2016 silverado crew cab i run the mastercraft M/Ts in a 35x12.5x20 and i use it for towing and just around town use and hunting, the tires only have 2k on them so there still new, but they have no road noise and ride great

I've had the duratracs and currently have the st maxx on my gmc 1500. Zero problems with the duratracs, just wanted to try something different and possibly quieter even though duratracs not horrible. So far with the st maxx I'm happy. Ride is great, did well last winter and I'm in snow almost daily. Lost of pavement miles and plenty of gravel/dirt as well. Drive about 4K per month

I have been running the st maxx for about 15k miles now. jury is still out as to if I would buy them again, they are louder then the toyo mts they replaced, but the ride decent, and grip like crazy. they seem to be wearing decent, at least decent enough to keep me happy.

if they are an option, I would run toyo M55's, they are the toughest, longest lasting, traction tire I have ever run, ran em on out work fleet for year, seemed we would get 50k miles out of them. ( duallys, running super heavy every day, beat on the tires). I am not running them because they don't make the size I run. my next truck wont be lifted, and I will run them again.

If I'm not mistaken part of the reason the toyo M55 is limited in its sizing is because it's a "commercial" Tire and only used in those size ranging aplications.

I slapped some of the new BFG AT KO2s on my 2014 4Runner. Excellent tires. I'm a big fan of the aggressive look of the newly reinforced sidewalls. Only thing I hate is cringing at the sound of every little rock that somehow finds a way to hit a part of my car other than the wheel wells when I get back on the pavement. Guess it's the price I pay for having good tires. Otherwise, the tires have gotten me everywhere I wanted to go so far. I'll know more when we get some rain on the FS roads here in Chelan County. Some of these really silty roads get pretty interesting after a good squall.

Another vote for M55's. Just pay a little more you won't be disappointed.

Cooper Discoverer S/T Maxx are the best as far as I'm concerned.  Cheaper than m55's and a really burly tire. I'm on my second set for my powerstroke and I work them hard!
