I have done a lot of searching, but everything about these size tires is way outdated and very light on the info that I am looking for.

I have to get some tires for my 1983 short bed 4x4 and need help. I am totally overwhelmed by the choices and wildly different opinions of the same tires.

As the title says, I am looking for a new set of 235/75/15. I really don't drive that much and will mostly use the truck for going on trips on the road and then going someplace off main roads. I will not be doing any wheeling, but I would like something that won't get torn up on rocky dirt roads.

I have been looking at various AT and all season tires and just don't really know what to get. I am not opposed to getting ATs that will be louder, because the truck is not going to quiet anyways. I don't know how many people on here use this size tire, but I guess the newer trucks come with larger, but similar style tires to what I am looking for.

Here are some of the tires I have been looking at. Any help is greatly appreciated.

I don't really care if the tire costs $100 or $160. I would rather spend and extra $200 on a set of tires if it is really worth it.

Thanks

BFG all terrain T/A. Excellent in snow/ice and dirt. Long tread life. 40k to 50k miles easy.

 

Do you, or have you run the BFG at? I have heard that they are very good in the snow, but not so good in the rain and have a tendency to decrease mileage. I would much rather have a slightly less aggressive tread that is better in the rain. I am not worried about the snow, as it is really easy to just slow down and take it easy, but people don't ever seem to do that when it is rainy outside, so I would like to be confident on the roads in the rain.

Have you looked at Tread Wright tires? Great value, great tires and damn good customer service. I'll see if I can dig up the link and post it up for you.

x2 on the BFG all terrain T/A.
I have them on my last couple of rigs and was really happy with them
The only thing I don't like was the tread is just the right size for pickup up rocks
