I'm running 305/60/R20 Nitto's load range D. Thay where on the truck when I purchased it . With roughly 20K on them I'll be lucky to get another 15 out of them. Any suggestion on any other brand would be great. O- the truck is a 97' F250 P/S 4WD.

I have the maxis m/t on mine and i will probably get 35k at least out of them. they do get a little warm ever know and then if you know what i mean. the toyo's can be a little harder making them rougher but they are a good tire. remember the wider the tread/tire the better the wear

20's on a 97 stroke. I have always liked that body style. Post up a pic if you can.

I'm currently on BFG M/T and they are great - first set got almost 55K but I balance and rotate every 5K - I commute to CC from Rockport so a lot of Hwy miles.

I have also run the Maxxis and will prob go back due to the price of BFG. Liked them and also got a lot of miles by rotating and balancing every 5K.

I had some problems with each and BFG were worse on stock rims - could not balance them. Bought 10" wide rims and she's like a caddy now! Well maybe not!

all I know is without M/T's I'm stuck somewhere! Too heavy of a beast they are (F250, F350).

Good Luck,
Porter

I run BFG All Terrains on my 94 F250. With the heavy diesel and front end these trucks love to eat tires. Keep up with the 6k mi rotation sched and the the warranty should cover replacement if the tread doesn't last 50k.
