That's all subjective. I would go with the most aggressive tires that are decent in all conditions and are good for 45k miles.

I love my 275/65/20 Toyo AT2's. Yet to try snow in them, but i think they'll do well. Theyre way MORE aggressive looking when u see them in person. On factory FX4 20's. they fill the wheel wells and arent too wide where my sides get sprayed and dinged up. If u want a lil outside the fender look, ull get it on those. But, do u care about mpg and performance from the tires extra UNSPRUNG weight? My vote is Toyo obviously, but the duratracs and Coopers are great too. Although ive seen a good bit of duratracs have bad sliced sidewalls.

My current tires are E rated and they ride pretty rough.

I didn't have time to elaborate on these last night but I put them on the truck back in June and now have 20,000 miles on them. I think they're quieter than the Bridgestone duelers that came on the truck. I visit compressor sites in WV on a daily basis...lots of gravel roads, a couple of construction sites that were complete mud, some trails through the woods, lots of interstate, and wet roads. So far I'm reakl pkeased with the Cooper. I think Ford measured 9/32 at my last service (4,000 miles ago) so I think they're wearing pretty good.

I don't have any snow experience with them yet, but it won't be too long.

Overall I'm happy with the tires thus far.

If you're not seeing much mud/snow I would get the ones you can get for the best price and I agree with going with more of a highway tire, especially for road noise.
I just put on a set of AT2's, wanted the R/T but back ordered and wasn't going to hope and wait...I nearly went the Duratrack route (w/Kevlar), but I was changing wheels and tires out on my Raptor and wanted to be able to fit chains and the local dealer tested the setup with the AT2's and I liked it so went with it.

I think I've decided on the Duratracs. Wish they had a taller option, but oh well. Now I need to find a good place to buy them...

I just installed Duratracs- 275/70r18- on my '11 Fx4 5.0l. I have only had them for about 2 weeks and so far so good. I took them to a hunting spot last week that requires a couple mile drive on a rough, rocky dirt road. Where the stock tires had trouble gripping rocks in spots going up hill, the Duratracs powered through without issue. Just took them on a 14hr (roundtrip) road trip last weekend and they performed well. I didn't notice a hit in mpg because of 2 reasons- I didn't have the speedometer adjusted and there was lots of wind (tailwind on the way south, stronger headwind on the way north which just ate up gas).


I found the best price outright on Walmart.com- had them shipped to store for free. Discounttiredirect.com would have had a better price with their promo deal, but it just seemed easier to deal with one 'store' vice having them shipped to house, load them up and find a place to install.


I chose the Duratracs because I do drive in snow and do minor offroading, including mud, during hunting season and to get to some fishing spots. If you're not going to be driving in snow and doing any offroading, you may want to consider a less aggressive and less expensive tire.

Good suggestion checking Walmart. Never even thought of this option. Thanks for your review as well!

So much emphasis on looks...if its only looks than who cares?


When I'm driving my truck I need performance, handling and quality.
I run my Scorpion AT tires for the summer and contrary to a lot of peoples views on these AT tires, I like them...as a summer, highway AT tire.


E Rated 10 ply tires are heavier, ride rough and will decrease fuel mileage. If you don't care about this stuff then by all means...


My all terrain tire of choice which I use in fall (hunting) winter (snow) conditions is the General Grabber AT2 in a P Rating.


By far for me has been the best AT / Snow tire combination. It is studable and snow peak rated however is not classified as a winter tire therefore usable year round.


The ride quality in this tire is also extremely good. It doesn't look like the aggressive " I need to drive out of a crater tire" but it performs amazingly. And to me, when spending $250-$300 per tire is what matters the most.


Duratracs are way overrated and belong on Utility trucks.
