I just installed Treadwright Warden AT's on my '03 F150 last weekend, so far so good. Do a Google search for reviews on them, a lot of people are very happy with them. 285/75R16's are a good size tire for our trucks. If you get much bigger, you start to have a lot of clearance issues and really need to start thinking about a re-gear.

I'm liking my Hankook Dynapro ATMs. I've got an '05 FX4 so I have 18s, but I run 285/65/18. When they wear down, I'll be going to a 35.

any thoughts on treadwright tires? looking at getting something in the 285 75 16... not a big fan of retreads but every review ive seen seems to be positive, and the price is better

Like I said, so far so good, but I'm only about 500 miles into them. They took 3 oz or less to balance each tire, which is pretty impressive considering I pulled about 16 oz off the wheels from the old tires.

The biggest factor for me in choosing these tires was the reviews about how the company has great customer service and are willing to go the extra mile to make sure you are happy, and the fact that they stand by their product - that is hard to come by these days.
