Ford F150 - A/T Tires?

I'm looking to get some new all terrains for my truck before the snow hits. The stock wranglers are fine for the highway ,but have no grip in the mud and I'm worried about them in snow. Do any of you guys have suggestion for what brand/size to get?

Firestone Destination A/T's. So much better than the oe Goodyears.

Had Firestone A/T's on my 06 and they were great tires. I still have the stock on my 2010, but when they wear I will have the A/T's back on. It will make your ride very rough (most any A/T agressive tire does that), but worth it in the snow/mud. I was up in Jersey/Pennsylvania with those tires and they worked great.

General Grabber AT2's. I just put them on my truck. 265/70/18.
Anyone I know that uses them has been very satisfied.

I recently put some BFG AT/KO on my F-150... they look great, feel great and work great... no complaints at all. I'd go with some 285/70R/17... depending on the rim size.

Just my thoughts. Good luck with your search.

Check out Pro Comp All Terrains. They have the severe weather rating for snow and ice traction which most tires don't and they have a 50,000 mile guarantee.

Both the BFG AT's and the General Grabbers are snow rated as well.

F4ipilot, I'm assuming you've had the pro comps and had two quick questions. How is the ride on the road,and does the 50,000 mile warranty cover blow outs, or just normal wear and tear?

If you have a 20 inch wheel. Do a 2.5" - 3" front leveling kit and a 1.5" rear. Mount 275/65 20" Goodyear Wranger All Terrain. Price on tires are around $675 I think. It's the factory size tire size and model of the superduty OEM mount 20" tires.

Just my opinion. In a 20 inch, they are some of the more reasonalbe priced tires.

I think the ride is very good. Although I had the dealarship put the tires on when I purchased the truck so I have not ever driven my 09 without any other tires to directly compare to. I was most impressed with the cornering of the truck with those tires. Again I don't know how much of it is the tires and how much of it is the truck but overall I am impressed with these tires. I do have another F-150 with BFG All-Terrain tires and I will never buy those tires again. They are OK for sand and gravel roads but are marginal in snow and on ice and are terrible in mud. I have also had BFG mud terrain and Pro Comp Mud terrain on my trucks and so far I am most impressed with these Pro Comp All Terrains. I had a 95 F-150 with the Pro Comp Mud Terrain tires and when I sold the truck the tires has 40,000+ miles on them and were probably 2/3 wore out. I thought that was really good for a mud terrain tire. So I am guessing these Pro Comp all terrains will last well beyond 50,000. I do not believe the warranty is for blowouts, but is only for mileage. Many tire dealars offer a road hazzard warranty that you can purchase if you buy the tires through them though, which I believe they will replace the tire if a blow out occurs.

boataddict, The severe tire rating I was referring to is the U.S. Rubber Manufacturers Association performance standard for winter traction. Each tire has to meet a certain traction value on their index to receive their rating for severe rating. The symbol is a picture of a mountain with a snowflake in the middle of the mountain. Tires that meet this standard have this symbol branded on the sidewall of the tire. The Pro Comp All Terrains do meet this criteria. The BFG AT's and General Grabbers may be rated for snow but I do not believe that they meet the requirements for the severe weather rating given by the U.S. Rubber Manufacturers. Sorry, I am not trying to bust your balls but I just wanted this information to be known for the original poster to make a more informed choice for tires.

There is more information for the severe weather rating on the tire rack website.

Not feeling busted at all...
From Tirerack:
NOTE: While many of the Grabber AT2 On-/Off-Road All-Terrain tires meet industry severe snow service requirements and are branded with the mountain/snowflake symbol, some do not. Specific tires/sizes not meeting the industry's requirements are identified with a "Not Rated For Severe Snow" notation on Sizes & Prices, as well as on Specs. Grabber AT2 tires are designed to accept optional #13 metal studs to enhance ice traction.


NOTE: While most BFGoodrich All-Terrain T/A KO tires meet the industry's severe snow service requirements (and are branded with the mountain/snowflake symbol), selected tires do not. Specific tires/sizes not meeting the industry's severe snow service requirements are identified with a "Not Rated For Severe Snow" notation on the Sizes & Pricing, as well as on Specs.

I put BFG A/T KO rubber on my Ranger and I love those tires. They aren't too noisy and they really help in winter (that's on a 2WD truck).

I have the 18 inch rims that came with the chrome package and I've been thinking about a level kit, but I don't want to void my warranty. The wranglers are what I have on currently and they are terrible in everything: sand, mud, gravel, even wet pavement. I can only think how bad they'll be in the snow

I have the same factory wranglers on my FX4 and mine are pretty good in gravel (50%) of my driving but yeah, they SUCK in the mud! If it wasn't for 4Low and the locking diff I would have needed a tow a couple times. I wanted to put a leveling kit on mine but had the same concerns about the warranty. Yesterday when I took it in for it's regular service I asked the guys at the dealership about the leveling kits since they sell them. He said that "Yes, technically it voids the warranty HOWEVER Ford has to prove that the kit caused the problem and even then it only voids the warranty on the part that was directly affected by the leveling kit." and since the leveling kit is just a spacer there's almost zero chance of anything being affected by it. So once my new shop is built (and heated) I'm picking up a kit and paying a mechanic buddy in beer to install. Then I'll have to "wear out the tires" so I can justify paying $1200 bucks for new rubber to the wife
