With that said my truck weighs right about 8200#, so you might get different results on a 1/2 ton

They are not a tractor tire. They are built by Interco for mud. :tup:You want the best , here they are Boggers :chuckle:. Had them on a Chevy yes they are loud , and heavy and I only got like 20000 miles out of them but I never got stuck.

the last time I needed tires for my Super Duty, there where no BFG's available (they where in the middle of the tooling change/ ramp up from KM to KM2) I went with Cooper SST's. I prefer the BFG's.

Sst maxx cooper's
Yep I agree. Great combo of quite and off road traction. I have them on my 4runner. Toyo is now copying the st maxx with a tire just like it now. Another good one is the wrangler duratrac. All of these should be available in a 10 ply also.

thanks for the responses, I am going with the toyo m/t I dont drive enough to go with a A/T and dont ever want a flat tire. I got 67,000 out of the last set and are still legal but humm alot louder and spin at most sharp turns.
Nothing wrong with sticking to what works and what you know. Learned that the hard way with trying mechanicals this year. Do you sipe your tires? I did that with my last set and they chunked out a bit on the gravel/shale. This year when I bought tires they didn't even ask me if I wanted to do it and usually they are pushing it. I wasn't going to if they asked, but I'm wondering if they do it anymore

I have run BF mt and at. Duratrac, Toyo mt at and others. Running Toyo AT2 now and they are pretty good. Better in snow than MT and really are about as good in the mud as the MT unless its thick or gumbo mud. Duratrac is my favorite, great snow good in sloppy mud and on the street/rain. Toyo MT suck, period. sorry toyo guys but I'm not impressed at all with em. BF spank them every way possible.
HA. Sometimes people buy to wide of tires for mud. Lots of things to consider. A narrow tire will perform much better in mud then a wide tire. Wide tires look better so people go with them, and they perform better in icy snow/deep snow. Nothing's perfect for everything

This could be the most comical post I've ever read on huntwa. Narrow in the mud and wide in the snow and ice, huh? Wow

On a muddy old road yes a skinny tire will cut through better and bite where a wide tire is going to slide all over. But I'm trying to explain logical reasoning to someone who suggested TSLs and boggers to a guy who's trying to get mileage out of his tires. Not go out with hill billys on the weekends to a mud pit with super swampers and trailer their old broken jeeps

Narrow tire does perform better most cases. Wide pushes more mud and snow instead of cutting to the ground for traction. Jeeps ran pizza cutters for a reason. It depends on weight of vehichle of course. If its real deep than speed power and flotation of wide tire helps. Can a jeep 4cyl turn 15" wide 37" tires at 40mph through the mud? Nope. Stuck. Skinny will work best. Diesels are heavy and can use wider tires better than others. Anyone who has wheeled understands why a 38" skinny bogger does better than a 15" wide bogger.
:yeah: anyone who's done any wheeling is right. Internet jockeys see giant wide tires and eyes light up

More surface area touching road. Look at the Arctic vehicles they use and tell me what kind of tires they have.

Just put a new set of Duratracs on my new cummins yesterday - I've always been a BFG guy, but the guys at Discount Tire talked me into them and even matched the price of the BFG for me trying them.They are a little weird the first few hundred miles until broke in. Dunno why. You will like em. Snow they are really good. Good in everything except the thick mud. Can ball up but if its sloppy wet mud, rocks, grass, etc they are good. Wear was decent for me as well. Wet roads they were good too. Report back and let us know what you think!

My rating, bfg, cooper, Toyo, Goodyear. Bfgs are cheapest and have lasted longer on my f 350 than any others and have far superior traction and low noise.

I am running the Fierce Attitude MT's on my F150, made by good year. Second set. Ran a set on my other F150, which I sold. My favorite tire to fill the category of performance, wear, and cost overall. They have limited size selections.
Quoting myself.
I hit the 40,000 mile mark on these. 275/70/18.....I measured the tires with tread depth gauge, and they all measure between 11 & 12/32nd's remaining, which would put them at about 50% tread, but we all know that the second half of the tire usually wears faster than the first half. But I am extremely pleased with the wear so far.

I ran 235's on my f 150 and run 255's on my f 350. I've had 285's on both before and they were terrible in comparison in almost every condition I encounter in the local hills and snowy passes.I personally feel that the 255s are the best choice for a 10 ply 33in Tire. Unfortunately they aren't that common so make sure you have a spare and keep all your old ones for spares as well.

I had these KM2's in 255/80-17 on my Rubicon when we still had it and they worked great in the mud and muck. In most conditions I'll take tall and skinny every time.
