I have a 2005 F150, Crew Cab, 4x2. I have the crummy 255/65/17 Contitracs. I've been looking trying to find a good All Terrain, that will get good road mileage out of them. I'm going to get 265/70 because that's the smallest AT they make haha. I was just wondering of what I want what is best, BFG AT, Toyo Open Country AT, Nitto Terra Grappler, Maxxis Buckshot Mudder, General Grabber AT.. Thanks

 

"Best" if very subjective.
It has a lot to do with your use, and what you want from a tire. What is most important? Mileage, noise level, off-road traction, snow, price, etc...
The BFG A/T is a huge favorite of many people. They seem to last forever, and have very good reviews in the snow. They are not very loud. If you actually get into the mud a lot (probably not on a 2wd), they cake up pretty good though. Overall, very good tire.
The Toyo Open Country is a great tire too, I ran those on my ranger years ago. They were quiet, rode nicely, worked well offroad and in snow. I have no idea how long they last since they were on the truck when I got it, and I tend to wear tires out faster than most.

 

I go offroad some, but not much. I hit some light trails when hunting and what not. Main thing is road use like how long they will last. I have 18,000 miles and I need new tires, these Continentals are garbage!

 

Like I said, the BFG A/T is a really good all around tire. There is a reason you seem them on so many trucks, and they have such great reviews on tire sites. Pretty decent sidewall, pretty tough off road. And they will last. Lots of people get over 50k miles from them, and I've heard some pushing 90k miles on a set.

 

I really want some extremely aggressive looking AT's but the more aggressive the less they stand up to road miles. I guess BFG is the way I shall go?

 

i have nitto grapplers AT, but i think id prefer a set of BFGs.

 

i have a set of bfg at/ko's. there a great tire. i have 15k on them and even after some burnouts they look almost new. im expecting about 40k outta them. if i was sticking w/ a all terrain for my next set i would get them but im gonna get the km2's next year.

 

Cheapest BFG AT in town at 265/70 is 210 a tire No way I'm getting those! Does that sound really expensive for those?

 

you said 17" rim right?
i paid $240 a tire for 315/70/17's.

onlinetires.com has 265/70/17 for $180/piece. have a store local price match.

 

Yeah 17" rim.. Hm, alright I'll have to see if they will do price match, Thanks man!

 

Tire Rack price for BFG AT with load range C is $199 and load range E is $220. Sounds like a reasonable price to me. Nitto Terra Grapplers are going to run about $165 each. Good tires don't come cheap. I personally like the Nittos.

 

Do Terra Grapplers last at least 45k miles?

 

I'm sure you will hear alot of different opinions on this one but my experience is that if you keep them aired up properly and rotate them regularly, you should get 40k+ out of them.

 

Ah, I'm going to have to see what I can find around town with them. I have lifetime rotate, balance and alignment, so I could just every 4-5k miles get it rotated and balanced and be good to go, right?

 

Sounds like a good price! lol.
Try pricing out some BFG KM2's in a 35x12.50R18
I miss the days of buying cheap 33x12.50's for 15" wheels on my ranger based trucks.
