We just got a set of BFG KO2 LT275/70R18 to replace the stock goodyear's P275/65R18 after we got 2 flats from a some forest road driving. Originally we got Goodyear Adventurer with Kevlar but Discount Tire could only get 2-3 year old tires at the newest so they agreed to swap out the new old tires they had sold us for the BFGs which were only 4 months old. We went with LT tires because we tow our travel trailer often and the upsized LTs were cheaper than the smaller P tires.

I really like that tire. Have em on my 150. Any pictures angled from the front so we can see how it fills up the wheel wells?

I've run Cooper A/T tires on every truck I've owned and I've never had issues. They're usually cheaper than Goodyear's and bridgestones as well

I installed All-terrain T/A KO2 on my expy I also do a lot of highway traveling and miner dirt roads and fair deep snow in the winter In the NY PA NJ area I never had any issues through the snow or highway driving They are not overly load in the highway or hum like some off road tires but they are not quit like all season. the ride is a bit harder than all season but then again it's not a sedan or luxury SUV BTW have both which why I reference it I had the tires over year now they still look new tread wear is good I haven't had a puncture or flat ( knock on wood ) over all I am pretty happy with them the only negative I had is on tarmac when it rains if I am on two wheel drive and try a quick take off you do get some wheel spin but if your on 4x4 you get none and they grab well

I get the Futura Scrambler tires from pep boys. Made by Cooper for pep boys in the USA. 40k tires that I've put about 50k miles on and about to get them again. Can get them for a great deal under $90 per tire and even cheaper on other specials sometimes! Can't find anything better. Good on road performance and worked great off-road up a rocky trail in my two wheel drive '03 expedition. Plus they look really good in terms of tread and the white lettering.

I'm ready to get new tires now that the winter has started early. I plan to go with Michelin Defender LTX M/S. I have been running Firestone Destination A/Ts They are getting kind if thin after 26,000 miles. They are about 5 - 6 32nds. If it was the beginning of the summer I would run them a few more months. The Michelin's are all season radials and will be a lot quieter and they have very good snow traction for an all season tire. I have 2/4 all wheel drive, so I am confident these will work well for they type of weather we typically get.

If they are anything like my new Michelin LTX MS/2 tires you’ll love them Andy, good choice. They’ve handled snow well so far while lookin’ good (before they got salty with the rest of the truck lol). Also bonus these tires are Made in USA.

Very nice. I would have put them on already but I fell and broke my left arm up at the shoulder so I haven't been working for the last three weeks so that project is on hold. The good thing is I didn't have to drive in the snow on Monday, the bad thing is that my arm still hurts like hell. :)

They are on sale at Tire Rack https://www.tirerack.com/specialoff...97&em_id=131054&em_lid=IMAGE+M957_321x203.jpg
