I have a set of 20" Bronze Vorsteiner 601 wheels....need some rubber!
Fwiw, I am making my stock wheels my winters and adding Nokian winters tires.

Goals/Use
  • all around great tire
  • Looks good on the Raptor (not like a low profile radial)
  • Mostly on-road use (75%)
  • can handle towing a heavy load once or twice a month
  • lighter weight

Currently thinking Goodyear Duratrac 35 x 12.5 x 20.

Looks like a great all around tire that is a 10-ply E rated tire, and fairly light weight (63 lbs).

Go with the Toyo Open Country RT. Will look good and not hum on the road. I have them on mine and they work great offroad as well.

Thanks Brad.
Look great. Especially in that the 35x12.5x20 are F rated!
That should definitely help for towing the race trailer!

After a quick google search, I am seeing about 395 price.
I'll check with a few site sponsors as well.

Thx again!

I like the Toyo RT and the Nitto Ridge Grappler for a proper balance of looks and quietness. We get a pretty good deal on Nitto. Shoot me a PM if you need a quote.

You shouldn't have any problems towing with them as well. I had them on a previous F250 as well, pulled a 37ft boat, cattle/ horse hauler, and a race trailer often never had issues. I have them on my Raptor now and don't have any issues on road or off. They are holding up quite well.

I’m thinking of going the same route. Be sure to post some pics!

I'm running 315/70/17 Load Range D Duratracs. I don't tow anything heavy with the Raptor so I didn't want the harsher ride from Load Range E's. The D's have a slightly firmer ride than the stock Load Range C KO2s.
