Newbie...Tire Help
What's going on fellas!!! Obviously, I am newbie here and a new Ford owner as well!!! Right now I am running a 2005 F-150 SuperCrew 4X4 with factory tires. Well, these tires just ain't gonna cut it come fall. I live to hunt....and what I hunt most is whitetail and waterfowl. If it has antlers or feathers and webbed feet...it had better watch out!!! Well, in hunting my little antlered and webfooted friends, I do a lot of off-road driving (backroads, lease roads, cornfields, swamp edges, creek crossings, etc.). I HAVE to upgrade the rubber on my truck to something like a 285/70/17, something a bit wider with lugs that will get me anywhere I need to go, but still provide a decent treadwear.
I guess I am looking for some input from you guys who are running an off-road tire on your rigs. I have been looking at the Discoverer STTs and the Nitto TerraGrappler ATs. But I am open to any suggestions....
Help a newbie out...please!

Welcome to the site fellow duck hunter. Look at some of the Mud Terrains. BFG, Toyo, Goodyear MTR or I've got the new Hankooks which I really like. Or look at the BFG AT KO, or the Terra Grappler which isnt made in a 285 but is made in a 295/70/17. It'll really enhance the looks of your truck as well!
