Tire Reccomendations- TTB Ford


Recommended Posts

Gonna need new tires for my 96 F-150 AGAIN! mad I cant for the life of me remember when i put the last set on (Wild Country XTX, 265/75 R15) but i know it wasn't more that 25,000 miles ago. Before that it was a set of Pro-Comp All Terrains which didn't seem to last very long either.

Looking for some reccomendations for a longer wearing tire that is still agressive enough to get off the lake in the winter and down muddy feild roads in the spring/fall.

I have been leaning towards BFG All Terrains but dont want to shell out that kind of cash if they are gonna turn into slicks in a year.

Yeah I went for some cheaper off brands a few times on different trucks and weren't impressed with the mileage out of them. It was tough putting up the chunk of money for new BFG's on my F150 about 6 years ago but hey, they've got about 55,000 on them right now and look great for this coming winter, hopefully another one.

I would throw a vote out there for Hankook Dynapro ATM RF10 tires, they are a little more on the spendy side, just like the BFG, but I have a set on my truck with 55,000 miles on them, and the rears tires are probably still at 1/2 tread depth, but the fronts are getting down there, but that is because of lack of rotating the tires on my part, and also have a leveling kit on my 2005 F150. They are a great tire and have actually had tests done against the BFG All Terrain and done better or the same in most cases. I ran them an entire fall of hunting and driving old logging road and ice fishing and rarely had any traction issues with them, in either 2wd or 4wd. Just another option out there for you, as I replace my tires almost every 2 years, as I put on 25,000 to 30,000 miles per year.

If you haven't purchased yet, I bought Firestone Destination A/T's last June for my '07 F150 and if you look at them today you'd swear they were new. I believe I've rotated 3 times. Very smooth ride and excellent in snow and on ice. Good luck!

    • Sorry to hear that Duff. Will give my GSP's an extra scratch behind the ear for you guys today
    • Aw, man, sorry to hear that.  Shed some tears and remember her well.  They all take a piece of our hearts with them; some more than others.
    • yes sorry for your loss..  our dogs are always special...
    • Truly sorry to hear that duffman! I know that feeling.  Keep the good memories  
    • Chamois passed away this weekend a couple days short of her 13th bday. What a great dog to hang out with here at home and on distant adventures. Gonna miss ya big time my little big girl.
    • Sounds pretty sweet, alright. I will check them out, thanks.
    • If you really want to treat your wife (and yourself) with a remote operated trolling motor, the Minn Kota Ulterra is about easy as it gets.  Auto stow and deploy is pretty awesome.  You just have to turn the motor on when you go out and that the last time you have to touch it.   24V 80lb.  60 inch shaft is probably the right length for your boat.  They ain’t cheap - about $3k - but neither one of you would have to leave your seat to use it all day.
    • Wanderer, thanks for your reply. I do intend for it to be 24 volt, with a thrust of 70-80. Spot lock is a must (my wife is looking forward to not being the anchor person any more).  With my old boat we did quite a lot of pulling shad raps and hot n tots, using the trolling motor. Unlikely that we will fish in whitecaps, did plenty of that when I was younger. I also need a wireless remote, not going back to a foot pedal. We do a fair amount of bobber fishing. I don't think I will bother with a depth finder on the trolling motor. I am leaning toward moving my Garmin depth finder from my old boat to the new one, just because I am so used to it and it works well for me. I am 70 years old and kinda set in my ways...
    • Dang, new content and now answers.   First, congrats on the new boat!   My recommendation is to get the most thrust you can in 24V, assuming a boat that size isn’t running 36V.  80 might be tops?  I’m partial to MinnKota.     How do you plan to use the trolling motor is an important question too.     All weather or just nice weather?   Casting a lot or bait dragging?   Bobber or panfish fishing?   Spot lock?  Networked with depth finders?  What brand of depth finders?
