Tire recommendation: Infrequently used F250

[oguruma]

I have a 2006 F-250. It gets driven maybe 1,000 miles/year. I typically only drive it when I specifically need a pickup (dump runs, taking the family camping, driving down the beach, hauling firewood).

It's time to replace the tires. I live on the Oregon coast (see wet and muddy), and about the most demanding thing I do with the truck is drive down some old logging roads to get some firewood. The roads can be pretty gnarly and washed out.

I think I want an aggressive mud tire. I don't need a good warranty or long tread life (I'll probably sell the truck before I even get close to wearing the tires out).

I care about:

• Offroad performance
• Price

I don't care about:

• Road noise
• On-road handling
• Warranty
• Tread life

Every mud terrain I've had worked similarly off road. The differences were most apparent in their street manners. If you don't care about that, just pick a cheap one.

What size tires?

 

[Tex68w]

For that use go down to your local tire shop and buy the cheapest M/T available in whatever size you want.

There are some big, cheap bias ply tires and unless you are on pavement radials really have no advantage.

Have you considered the Toyo R/T?

Patagonia milestars. Cheapest MT in my area, they hook up good and wear fast.
