Hi, got a F150 2005 Lariat and would like a set of tyres for winter, it is not levelled and would like tyres to be all terrain and not to expensive

It's "tires" not "tyres" dude but I'm sure you all ready new that . Anyways, I have Toyo's but they're kind of pricey. Nice tires though

The Nitto Tera Grapplers and Toyo AT's are basically the same tire, even manufacturered in the same plant. They are both great values. Not as expensive as the BFG AT KO's, and just as good. The Bridgestone Duelers are also great values.

I'd go with a 285/60-18 (32x11.50) or a 285/65-18 (33x11.50).

Another vote for the Nitto A/T's for a nice tire at a good price.
