Default New and need help

Hello all. Just purchased a 2010 Ford XLT EXT Cab. It's a clean truck with about 117k. Needs new tires... the great tire debate. Im sure I came to the right place for help.

Welcome.

First off, how do you use your truck? This will make a difference in tire recommendation.

Like Pigman said, kinda depends on usage.
I live in Michigan , snow in the winter, and I hunt , so light off road duties.
I went with the BFG KO2 All terrain tire.
And love them .

That's exactly the look I'm after. Very nice. I'm about 95% getting the BFG KO2's. Are those 20's or 18's on there and do you have any kind of lift. I won't actually use them for any off roading, but only drive like 25 miles round trip to work so why not look good, lol. We get some snow out in Delaware but nothing to be concerned with.

I run Cooper AT3's. I love them for an all around tire.
