What tires are recommended by guys here?

Looking at leveling my 2012 Laramie Limited and will be putting 35x12.50x17 rims on it. Im up in the air about what tire to run. Im not off road much some in hunting season but mainly its a daily driver. Been looking at the Falken brand and Dick Cepek FCNII.

Any suggestions or experience with good lasting tires for these heavy trucks.

THanks

Brian

I love my Nitto Trail Grappler MT's. They're quiet and smooth for a mud tire but still plenty aggressive. I haven't had them very long, but the few times I e had them off road or in mud they've been great.

Forget the Falkens. A guy in my neighborhood with a crewcab F-250 will be lucky to get 20K out of his.
Consider the new Toyo AT'2s. They're warrantied to go 50K,precision built and usually require minimal weight to balance.

Nitto Terra Grapplers or Toyo Open Country A/T. Similar tread design between the two, great balance of traction/ride/noise. Just make sure they're E rated!

I don't know if they make 'em in that size but the Hankook Dynapro AT/M is an excellent choice, on my second set (1st set was on my 2003).

I live in Maine and needed to buy the first set of new tires on my 2500 in November. I found a post from busboy, who lives in Alberta, recommending these (which are actually manufactured by cooper):

http://simpletire.com/multi-mile-lt2...17-xts91-tires

I have been running them since November and am very pleased. I use my truck as a daily driver and I plow driveways for myself, 8 paying customers , and 5 relatives . They ride great, are quiet, have great snow traction, are load range E, american made....and are $185 for 265/70r17.
