I'm sorry if this is covering a subject that's been beat to death. I'm just asking with my specifics.
I'm driving a 2014 F150 SuperCrew with FX4 package. The only modification is a 2.5" fron spacer leveling kit to fit 35s. I currently have some second-hand 35x12.50R20 Toyo Open Country AT II's. I like the tires off-road, I feel like the wider footprint gives me an advantage when driving over soft ground. But I'm not driving offroad all the time, 90% of my driving is on the road, and the wide tires definitely make the truck drift more and follow road imperfections.
I'm looking for a narrower tire, as the big flotation tires I have rub a bit on my UCAs at full lock. I'm thinking a 275/65R20 would be about perfect. I think I want more of an AT than a MT just because, realistically, most of my driving will be on pavement. I need a tire than will handle wet roads. The truck will never see snow or ice so that's a non issue. But at the same time, I don't want to worry about my tires when the road runs out.
4wheelparts.com has a pretty good deal on BFG KO2s right now. I know they have a fanstic reputation. What about the newer hybrid styles? Cooper ST Maxx, Toyo R/T, General X3? What do you think my best option is for a 1/2 ton pickup? Again sorry for bringing up whats probably an old subject for a lot.
Here is how it sits now (When I got the tires in Feb):
