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!

    • got this tackled today took about 3 hours to get both sides done. Didnt even get to use a torch....   Thought I was golden with just jacking it up and I could get to everything but no luck. Had to remove the entire axle hub and brake assembly to get to what I needed. Was a pain but still better then taking off the entire pivot arm.    Axle bearings were already greased and in great shape thankfully. Got both leaf springs installed and its ready for the road again.   Probably going to have my electric brakes checked, I am not touching anything with the brake drums. Based on what I saw it doesn't look like my electric brakes have been working anyway. Brakes are nice to have if its slippery out
    • By The way that didn't work either!! Screw it I'll just use the cellular. 
    • It’s done automatically.  You might need an actual person to clear that log in stuff up.   Trash your laptop history if you haven’t tried that already.
    • 😂 yea pretty amazing how b o o b i e s gets flagged, but they can't respond or tell me why I  can't get logged in here on my laptop but I can on my cellular  😪
    • I grilled some brats yesterday, maybe next weekend will the next round...  
    • You got word censored cuz you said        B o o b ies….. haha.   Yeah, no… grilling is on hiatus for a bit.
    • Chicken mine,  melded in Mccormick poultry seasoning for 24 hours.  Grill will get a break till the frigid temps go away!
    • we had some nice weather yesterday and this conundrum was driving me crazy  so I drove up to the house to take another look. I got a bunch of goodies via ups yesterday (cables,  winch ratchet parts, handles, leaf springs etc).   I wanted to make sure the new leaf springs I got fit. I got everything laid out and ready to go. Will be busy this weekend with kids stuff and too cold to fish anyway, but I will try to get back up there again next weekend and get it done. I don't think it will be bad once I get it lifted up.    For anyone in the google verse, the leaf springs are 4 leafs and measure 25 1/4" eye  to eye per Yetti. I didnt want to pay their markup so just got something else comparable rated for the same weight.   I am a first time wheel house owner, this is all new to me. My house didn't come with any handles for the rear cables? I was told this week by someone in the industry that cordless drills do not have enough brake to lower it slow enough and it can damage the cables and the ratchets in the winches.  I put on a handle last night and it is 100% better than using a drill, unfortatenly I found out the hard way lol and will only use the ICNutz to raise the house now.
