Default 265/70/17 Tires
I have a 2005 F 250 Powerstroke Diesel & I need to replace BF Goodrich Rugged Trail tires [265/70/17]. I have about 27K on them & I do not plan on using the OEM tires. They suck.

Any suggestions on a good tire. I do very little off road, so I plan on buying something that will give me some decent handling capability plus better mileage than the BF Goodrich Rugged Trail.

Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Johnny

You probably already got some tires by now, but I have Bridgestone Dueler A/T Revos in that size on my 97 F-150 4x4, and they are awesome. Good dry traction, incredible wet traction, and still a ton of off-road capability. A bit expensive at $200 per tire but completely worth it IMO.
