Day Two of Trip North: Quest for Tires

So now, crossing fingers that big o tires has something in stock for me…

245/75r/16s?? E rated = less flats P rated cheaper and more flats So get the e rated

Bfg at k02 got good reviews - much heavier and make the ride rougher.

For a heavier E-150 camper or work conversion, the consensus across Reddit threads like r/tires is to opt for Load Range E (10-ply) tires for maximum puncture resistance and load capacity. Users frequently upgrade stock sizes to 245/75/R16 for better handling and a more aggressive stance.

Falken Wildpeak A/T3W or A/T4W: Highly praised on subreddits like r/vandwellers for excellent snow, rain, and off-road traction. Expect to pay around $300 per tire.

Cooper Discoverer A/T: Favored in community discussions for being quieter and cheaper than competitors, while offering excellent treadwear.BFG KO2 (All-Terrain T/A): A long-time van community staple for rugged durability, though some find them slightly noisier on pavement.
