The OP hasn't posted in over 3 years. He probably doesn't even own an F150 anymore.

I'll second this. I've gotten over 75,000 miles out of the last three sets of BFG ATs on my Jeep, and I'm at 40,000 on the current set of KO2s on my truck (and they are wearing wonderfully). I will never buy anything else.

Put whatever your driving requires. Why put big a** tires if your truck is a pavement princess? They'll look good, but handle like crap, they'll be loud as hell and they'll last 20k miles as you said. I did that mistake once and I'll never do it again.

My AT tires have a 50k threadwear warranty and they look good. I agree that an aggressive thread pattern and sidewall looks good, but it's not worth it if you're only using it on pavement like 99% of us do.

If you do not heavy tow, I would not recommend choosing load E (10 plys) tires. Your ride will be stiff for nothing.

The last set of Muds I had on a truck was a set of LT285/75R16 BFG Mud Terrain TA on a 1996 F350 4x4 20 years ago. With that said they were not rough riding, didn't vibrate much and had a slight hum at speed. They lasted 48,000 mi. Although how effective they were in mud the last 10,000 mi is questionable. It was nothing like as extreme as guys here make out but then they weren't Swampers or Hawgs either.

If you don't want Muds I suggest Cooper AT3 XLT LT285/75R18E. It's an excellent tire.

Mud terrain treads in general are good for mud but mediocre for sand or snow or dirt and wear faster on pavement or rocky trails. Also poorer performance on wet pavement including a much greater stopping distance.

Some mud terrains are good in rain and snow. I ran Nitto Trail Grapplers on my 2011 and 2014 FX4's from 2011 -2016 and they were really good in rain and snow. I ran Terra Grapplers on my 06 and they sucked in snow. The Traii Grapplers on my 2011 wore pretty well, I rotated them regularly and when I traded the truck they had 27k mles on them and they had a little over half tread. I got lazy on my 2014 and didn't rotate them regularly so they wore faster.

Looks like the "Related Thread" strikes again, stirring up old dust.

Any opinions on Discount Tires Pathfinder AT? Great price and mostly positive reviews.

You should really start a new thread, this is 5 years old

Terra Grappler is not a mud tire. The Nitto Mud Grappler is their version of a mud tire. When I had true mud tires on a my first pickup truck I quickly learned how effective they were in digging down in thick mud until the rear differential sat on the ground. For mud and sand and snow it is far better to float on top and not dig down into the surface. For mud the best thing to have is a good winch and a tree strap.
