They are ok in the dry stuff of the interior, not sure about the good old wet cost snow though. One thing is they throw a lot of rocks.
Good all around tire though.

Try Dick Cepek, made by Mickey Thompson I can get a 35" ten ply tire
for around 200 a tire. apparently they are good tell 65-70k. but they suck in mud
im going to try them for my next set this winter, guys run them up north with alot of gravel, pavement and snow. they don't come apart like the bfg does with alot of gravel.

My last set of BFG at's will be just that, the last set. Ran bfg's for 20 years but with the soft compound they wear super quick. Running Mickey Thompson baja atz's now, so far so good but time will tell. Have buddies with the duratracs and they like them.

Here ya go Ken
.New to me 2011 F250 6.2 gasser.
285 70R17 Nitto Terra Grapplers. Nice and dirty like they should be
. 
It tows the boat like a dream. The hump and the Tofino Highway were a breeze. The 6 speed tranny is a huge improvement with Ford. Had to make a run into Ukee for lumber and took the back roads. I will have to wait and see what they are like in the snow and mud. Big step up from my '96 F250 lol.
Sorry for the minor hijack Tips Up.
Cheers,
John

I buy all my tires from Kal Tire on Old Victoria Rd. in Nanaimo. I'm sure if you call them they will give you a quote.

Nitto and Toyo are essentially the same tires, made by the same company. Nitto is the entry level tire for Toyo
Go with the TOYO OPEN COUNTRY AT 2
Look at the Nittos on the Ford and these bellow, virtually identical
Toyo M55 are nice, hard tire, durable on dirt roads but they humm on the hwy and are essentially the same as the Nitto tire thats on your truck now Tips Up

little late to the thread but I have been happy with Goodyear Wrangler Silent Armour 10 plys on my truck. Very good wear if you rotate them regularly. Also very good in the snow and are winter rated (snowflake designation). If you wait for the fall they usuallyo on sale at Fountain Tire buy 3 and get 4.
