New tires need, opinions

ok so my dad needs new tires on his 99 f150 5.4, it has 245/75R16 good year wranglers on it now, he has gotten 60,000 miles out of that set, so what im getting at is whats another good tire he can get about 60,000 out of and have pretty good traction in snow? he only drives highway so we have been looking at bfg at ko's and yokohama at/s but opinions would be awesome!

Is he looking for an all terrain tire or a highway all season tire?

I would recommend running a set of highway all season tires and go with the General Grabber HTS tires. Very good ride quality on the highway, 60,000 mile tread life warrenty and good snow traction.

Derrick,

Any idea when you'll be getting another batch shipped in from back order? Specifically some 265/75R16s?
