I have an 05 f250 with leveling kit. Just finished off a sett of 37x12.50x18 BFG ATs. I went with Nitto DuraGrapplers. They are a highway tread but the tread depth is 19/32! I got the 305/70r18s wich roughly translates to 36x12.3x18. So far so good. They balanced very well (2ounces per tire and one with no weight). I bought them through a local shop mounted and balanced for $1200.

Forgot to mention that they are mounted on Ford rims

Well do you want an A/T or an M/T. Toyo makes one of the longest lasting and best all around M/T's for our trucks. They are very pricey though, but from what I've seen it's one of the longest lasting mud tires under a diesel truck. I'm also a HUGE fan of pro-comp tires, they seem to last forever, yet still hook up excellent. I've had personaly experiences with the M/T extremes, the all terrain, the extreme all terrains and the x-terrains. The x-terrains had the most abuse by far, they were put through some torturous burnouts and held up exceptionally well for what they are, but didn't do as good in the snow as the xtreme mud terrains.

I have Toyo Open Country AT and like them a lot. I currently have close to 30k on them with a good bit of tread left.

Im currently running 37" Nitto trail grapplers, they look n perform good but they wont even last 15k. I previously used procomp extreme a/ts, they say there 40k tires but i got close to 50k on em. Thats with my weekend drags n showing off burnouts. There a good looking tire and worth the extra cash.

One of my buddies has a set on his 2500 cummins. He loves them. He farms. So they have been threw pretty much everything. They have probably 30k on them and still look good. They do look mean also.

If you want something similar to the duratracs, but a little bit cheaper. I bought a set of kelly safari tsrs. The dealer told me they were kelly's version of the duratrac and they are awesome so far, but I have only had them for around 4-500 miles.

Kelly Tires | Safari TSR

this is their website. the tires look really mean but they are dead quiet.
