Hey guys, I have a 2011 FX4 crewcab short bed with the 18" rim package.
It's time to replace the stock crap Goodyear SR-A tires and I'm not sure what to go with.
I am keeping my stock rims so I'm not sure I want to go to a bigger tire.
I don't like the bulge look and I want something a little more aggressive looking. The truck is my daily and I love the ride and how quiet the cab is. I want to keep that the best possible.
What are your suggestions/experiences?

 

I have a friend that swears by Hankook Dynapro MT's. Might be my next tire once my Nitto Crosstek HD's finally wear out.

 

I'm a huge fan of the Goodyear Duratracs. I run them on our whole fleet of F150/F350 work trucks.

 

I just put on the Cooper Discoverer ATP from discount tire. They are aggressive looking A/T tread and are very quiet. I noticed a very slight increas in road noise but it was negligible. Have about 5k miles on them and so far they are very good, and the price was right.

 

X2 On the Cooper ATP's (55k Warranty) went from a 265/60/18 to 275/65/18

 

I have the Cooper Discover AT3's on my wife's liberty and they seem to be a good tire. I thought the ATP was discontinued.
I like the look on your truck with the 275/65/18

 

I just looked, my truck came from ford with 275/65/18's so I guess I like the stock look lol.

 

Yea, 275/65 are for the 4x4's ( I think) . Thats how i decided what size i wanted.

The Atps have been out since 2011 and its only available at Discount Tire. I was looking at Nitto's which were 185.00 a piece and the guy talked me into these for 140 a piece.. Said that its their best seller for a A/T tire.. So far that store hasnt had any complaints on them, since they started selling them.

I have about 6k on them now and really like em. Will be interesting what the mileage life will be.

 

You wouldn't if you had my stock size. My truck came with 255/70/17's stock. Way too tiny of a tire. I am debating on 315/70/17's for my next set.

 

What type of off-roading do you plan on doing? And what is your driving style?

I'm a huge fan of the Michelin LTX M/S2. They're quiet, last forever and have insanely good bite on and into hardpack dirt when driving like a maniac . They're also extremely stable even when severely overloaded. In snow, they have a lot of sideways traction so they're not as easy to do donuts with.

The look is only slightly more "aggressive" than the Goodyear Wrangler SRA though.

They have an All Terrain tire too, but again it's not very aggressive looking from the side.
