Re: Tire choices!
Tires depends how your going to use the truck and budget.

Re: Tire choices!
The truck will be used for a variety of task, mostly just a cruiser in decent weather. It will haul a trailer a few times a year and may hit up the drag strip to play around. All the tires in the poll would work, just seeing if anyone has any input.

Re: Tire choices!
had the 255/60-15 BF's on the back of my '68 half ton. tuff as nails, lasted forever, & i beat on them. due to work it wasn't uncommon to have 1000-1500 lbs of shingles in the back of the truck, drove them yr round, even in snow, & an occasional case of unintended acceleration-the kicker? they weren't even truck tires, they were P, car tires!

Re: Tire choices!
I have had BFG Radial All-Terrains on every 4x4 I have owned. They are good in mud and snow (although probably not as good as the MT), but I don't plan on staying in the mud too much. For an all around tire, they are pretty solid.
I bought them from Discount Tire, and have always purchased the free replacement certificates as well. I have paid full price for a "new" tire for several years. Something always happens to a tire and they replace them under warranty, so all I usually have to pay for is the disposal fee and a new certificate ~$15 or so. I've had nails, shards of glass, screws, bolts, sticks, and nearly everything else you can imagine stuck in those tires, and Discount Tire has never once denied the warranty. It's not the way I would plan to get new tires on my truck, I just use my truck for a lot of different things, and go a lot of different places where road hazards tend to be.

Re: Tire choices!
They are one of the best looking white lettered 15" tires out there. I hate seeing a fresh (or even well done) resto on cheap, no name tires. The price difference in tires is negligible In those terms.

Re: Tire choices!
There are very few tire companies making tires in these sizes anymore, most are good brands. Some of the brands are made from the same company just different names. I know mastercraft is not well known on here I but have had several tires from them and do like them. Any of these three tires will be about the same and will look good on the truck. I just like to see opinions from you guys.
