I have a 06 f250 King ranch. It is stock with 20 inch rims. The stock tires suck in the mud and snow. There are not a ton of tire options. I wanted to buy a set of 18 inch rims and put a good set of self cleaning tires for the hunting/snow season and then put my 20;s on in the spring. can anyone email me with a suggestion?? Amlsml@verizon.net thanks
Just upgraded my Harley Davidson to BFGoodrich All-Terrain KOs. Mounted them on DC-1 20x9 wheels with sensors, all from NTW. Feels even more surefooted in the turns, will let you know about snow.
But if they work like they did on my 97 Dodge 2500, they will be awesome.

I've got 20" rims on my '06 f250 as well. There are few choices for 20" winter tires with an E rating (I've found only two). After researching most of the major tire brands and their offering of sizes, I bought a set of 17" OEM rims on ebay. Found there are far more E-rated winter tires available in this diameter than 18"
Hi, I am on my 4th. F-250 now, a -05 FX4. Have tried a lot of tires in snow. Found BF A/T's useless on hardpacked snow. Like driving with slicks. In loose snow and real cold they are Ok. But then again in mud like a wet farm field, they pack in way to easy. Right now I use Toyo O P A/T's that I have had cut and siped. OK for winter use.
Good Luck
Check with your Ford Dealer. They always seem to have take offs. People buy a new truck and the dealers put fancy wheels and big tires on them The OEM tires get sold cheap. My dealer sells the takes offs for $100 a tire. With or with out the rim.
