Default Tires for my new truck

I recently just got a 2017 f150 that a 2wd and was wondering what are the best a/t tires I should get for it. Most of my driving is on the road and highways but I would like to do some baja type of style of off-roading every once in a while. I live in Baton Rouge and it's mainly just hot, rainy, and wet weather around here, no snow. What are some tires that looks good, decent mpg, and can provide me with the ability to maybe do some offroading?

I had a 2017 F150 RWD and I installed Falken Wildpeak AT3W (they are now a AT4W) I went through 2 sets, we get ice and snow here in Kansas. I also pulled out 31' TT and 28' pontoon and used the slick boat ramps at our lake and never skipped a beat. The best tires I have ever had. I had the 5.0 with 3.55 gears and it was no problem to get over 18mpg's.

Ridge Grapplers are probably what you're looking for. I'm in BR as well, where do you intend to Baja type off road around here?

Tbh not even like baja, just want to be able to have tires that give me the ability to just do light off-roading or wtv, or what my 2wd is capable of

I've not had any issues in the wet with them. I don't really off-road, unless you count driving off the edge of my asphalt driveway into some dirt, off-roading. My average MPG at the moment is 19.6 per the Lie-O-Meter. My daily drive is short though. The Coopers I went with I purchased from the Discount Tire Direct eBay store. Its the Discoverer ATP II 275/60R20. Had my local tire shop mount them for me.

Yeah well I’m just tryna find some tires that have pretty aggressive look, good on road driving and wet pavements, can do a little bit of off roading, and is pretty good with the mpg
