Question TIRES - Please help!

I have a 2007 F150 4x4 and I live in NJ (there is snow on the ground and its Halloween), I have bald BF rugged trails on my truck now and they are HORRIBLE in the snow, I don't feel safe in my F150 anymore. I have 3 tire options, #1 priority is safety in the snow and rain, I also need something that will hold up well because I drive 20,000+ miles per year, and they have to look good. I have a 2.5" Leveling kit on it now so I'm going to with 275/70/18's (33.2" tires) Out of these three choices who would recommend what?

Hankook Dynapro atm r10's
BF All Terrain T/A's
BF Rugged Trial T/A's

Please help me make the right choice

go with the Hankook Dynapro's I just got a set of them and they are very smooth and more quiet than previous tires. Not only this but, the BFG's are overpriced! I am running a set of 275/55/20 and they are nice. Paid about $880 for them installed. good luck.

Regardless of reviews....BFG's are what I put on every truck every time. personal preference...

Are you driving off road in NJ? Why a leveling kit?

Why not? It looks good and Yes, occasional driving off road / farm work. This was a question about tires - not leveling kits?
