Hi. Please forgive me if there is a similiar thread here somewhere.

I bought, what I think, is a great hunting truck. However, it came with crappy 'Continnetal' tires.

What are you guys putting on?

Take a look the pro comp xtreme all terrain pretty good in the mud, ok on the highway and getting about 45,000 out of mine on fords and dodge's, if you catch them right you can get four for the price of three at four wheel parts.

I'm having trouble finding anything in that size. Goodyear wranglers are just coming to the market now.

Look at FourWheel Parts. Com, I bet you can find what you are looking for.

Don't know if they come in that size but I have been pleased with the Cooper ATR's I put on my '02 F-150 after the stock Goodyear tires wore out. Good traction off road and a smooth ride on the road. They won't last as long as Michelins, but they were nearly half the cost.

Take a look at the Toyo tires. If it's a diesel I'd stay away from the Coopers.

I also went with the Bridgestone Revos and have been pleased.

Going through the Tire Rack is a good way to go. While I've not used them for truck tires yet, they set me up with an excellent set of Toyo Proximas on 15" rims for my daily driver for a very reasonable price. They also support Grassroot Motorsports $2007 challenge, making them extra kewl in my book.

Thanks guys. Size seems to be the problem: 275/70/18 must be new and manufactors are just getting machined to build now. I

Just curious, but is there a problem with Cooper tires that I should know about. I will be needing another set of tires in a few months and have had no problems with mine.

You want to consider putting E rated tires on a diesel due to the weight and the capacity of the truck. D rated tires usually don't hold up as well and can fail under heavy loads.

I'd have to go with the BFG AT's as well. A buddy of mine had them on his diesel and got 50K out of them, heavy towing as well. Yours being gas should go farther... I think they are a great tire and very capable on and off road. You could go to a closer size, you don't have to match exactly. Costco usually has the better prices, but can be funny with mounting.

2007 f350 with a gas 351? I thought they did away with those years ago.
