Tire selection for towing/mud/snow
Hi there, fairly new to the forum. I don't know if this has been discussed in another thread, so let me know if it has. I have an '02 F350 crewcab and am having a heck of a time getting around this winter here in nebraska...what I am saying is that I need to find better tires. I do a moderate amount of towing goosenecks and do not want to change out of the factory 16" wheels. Please help me to find a decent tire that will hand fairly hefty loads (grossing up to 30,000lbs), but will also handle well in ice, snow, and muddy conditions. I'm thinking of a tire that would be considered not an all terrain and not a mud terrain, but a hybrid of the two. Thanks for any recommendations.

Check out the Nitto Terra Grappler, they're available to fit the stock size (275/75/16 I believe) and are E rated, which is great for towing. Should be a good compromise for what you're looking for...

Nitto also came out with the Dura Grappler. It's supposed to be a highway type tire with some all terrain characteristics.

Ditto on the Nittos. I have a set of 305s mounted on my original factory rims that I use in winter. I keep them on for about 4 months then swap back to the heavys. I went with the Terra Grapplers because of the load rating as well. 3525lb I believe for the Es. They are awesome except they don't wear real well. I think they're kinda soft. Geez looks like the 285s are the tire to get, they have a 225lb higher load per tire than the 305s. The 305s do look pretty good on the truck though.
