Hey guys, I have a 99 F-350 Crewcab Dually Powerstroke. I need to put new tires on it, I want to stay with the 235/85/16, truck is basically stock. I want an all terrain tire and I want one that is going to last, tread wear is the biggest thing. I figured who better to ask than those who have these trucks and have tried different sets. My local shop is pushing the Firestone Transforce A/T's. I've also looked at the Uniroyal LIberators and can get a good deal on those, but know nothing about them. Any suggestions???

I'm looking at new tires myself - dang, that's going to cost a pretty penny. Also want better off road performance, but don't want mud tires 'cause they wear too fast and make too much of a racket on the road.

Top of my list is Goodrich AT's. Had them on my Ranger, and they were a pretty good compromise of off road traction, tread wear, and on road noise.

Where did you find the michelin m/s and I would love to see some pics if you have any. I run the michelin ltx right now and am getting a little more than the 60,000. But Im willing to trade the milage for the M/S

He is talking about the Michelin LTX M/S. It is a realy good road tire. Since you want an AT though, I would go with a BFG AT. Stay away from Uniroyal!!
