Have a 97 f-150 ext cab with 303450 miles on it all I use it anymore is for the woods and to plow snow. It is a lariat and has the 265/70/17s on it now they are street tread but now that it's just a plow truck I want some cheap aggressive tires on it. I only put about 500-800 miles on it a year if I'm lucky. It has the 17" wheels on it and tires for them aren't cheap and sizes are hard to find, so should I put a set of 15" wheels on and get cheaper tires or find some 265/70/17 tires. Does anyone know of a (cheap) good snow, mud tire it can be off brand.

 

Look at treadwright tires, they have mud tires for cheap and there's no need to change wheels.

 

First you can't put 15s on our trucks cause of the calipers n yes I would highly recommend treadwright I have their guard dogs on my truck n they work well

 

That's what I thought about the 15" wheels but someone said I could. I checked out the guard dogs and I can get them shipped to my door for 580 that is a good price. Thanks fellas!!

 

I can tell you for sure you can't fit 15 inch rims on our trucks without modification to your brakes
