    Tires for Colorado or Montana

    Ok so my little sis will be going to school in either Colorado or Montana so she will be seeing snow. What tires would you guys recommemnd for the 2006 f-250 also what size? Would a larger foot print be better, I would have to think so. Being a Texan all my life I have no advice for her, so tell me what you know and what you would do. Thanks

    Slinky Modifieds are the best but the 5.2 isnt a bad tire either.

    Search slinky snow.

    I think Cantebury makes a pretty good one too.

    My Dad swears by Dunlop Radial Rover RTs. You can get them in 265/75-16. He's run them on his Range Rover for years and he swears they are the best wet traction/snow traction tires he's ever used. They work pretty well in light off road use as well.

    Here's a photo,

    the stock size is 265/70-17s we are either going to keep that or go to 280/70-17s. We are currently leaning toward BFG TA KOs.

    We went with the BFG t/a ko 285/70-17, what issues will this have over stock for the tach and spedo? I assume it’s electronically controlled through the OBDII port not through a geared sprocket thingy like the older models. Does anyone think that the 9/10" increase in height need recalibrating and if so how? Thanks

    does 2006 still use a vss? I bet its got 4 wheel speed sensors.

    You'll be off by 2.6%. When it says 100mph you'll really be doing 102.6mph.
