I've had the trail grapplers. Good tires but I prefer the cooper stt. They seem to last longer and they look better in my opinion.

Just picked myself up a set of 35x12.5 Trail Grapplers last Friday and I love them. Discount had a good price ($372/tire) which was much cheaper than I could find anywhere else. I think they look great and I like the hum they make. They're 35s, what do you expect? If I wanted something quiet, I would of bought a Honda.

I'm running the Toyo AT2's with no complaint's. P275x60x20 that are only 43 lbs ea. so they still give decent gas mileage and ride great. Got tired of the heavy 10 ply tires that sucked up the gas and performance.





Good road manners and quiet on the highway.

Although a bit expensive I'm tempted to try a set of Vogue 285-45-22 for my Limited. They have a 60,000 mile warranty which is something a lot of the other brand manufacturer do not offer.

This question is asked, and answered, at least once a week. As with anything else, you'll get 15 answers from 10 people with totally differing opinions.

I prefer facts. Sources like Consumer Reports, which performs tests on tires that are repeatable, and publishes the results. I've posted that link multiple times.

https://www.f150forum.com/f2/tire-rat...eports-274900/

Their current ratings in each category, for what they are worth:

Best multitasker (best all-terrain and winter tire) - Cooper Discoverer A/TW

Best all-terrain - Hankook's DynaPro AT-M

Best winter tire on ice - Nokian Hakkapeliitta R2 SUV

Best winter tire overall - Bridgestone Blizzak DM-V1

Long life - Pirelli Scorpion Verde All Season Plus

Best all season - Michelin LTX M/S2

Best Buy - Continental CrossContact LX20 EcoPlus

Top 3 in each category:


All-Season:

Michelin Latitude Tour
Michelin LTX M/S2
Goodyear Assurance CS TripleTred All Season

All-Terrain:

Hankook Dynapro AT-M
Goodyear Wrangle All-Terrain Adventure
Michelin LTX A/T 2

Winter:

Michelin Latitude X-Ice Xi2
Continental ExtremeWinterContact
Nokian Hakkapeliitta R2 SUV
