what are you guys using for tires on the factory 17" wheels im using goodyear forterras now but they need to be changed....this truck only sees snow other then that its all highway
 






BFG's came oem on my '03 limited 17".. I never cared for the tires in the snow, hydroplaned a good amount in rain.. were decent in dry.

Just (a couple weeks ago) replaced them with forterra triple treads. Won't see snow for a few months yet.. like them in the dry, good in what rain we've had, but I haven't had the level of puddles I wanted yet.. Have lost about 1 MPG in mileage however, on a 4.6L that gets pretty miserable milage to begin with, I think the extra 1 loss is worth mentioning.
 






What size? Or what the biggest size you can put on a 17" factory rim?
 






the max tire sizes r 265/75/16 and 265/70/17 which is about 31.6 inches (otherwise simply referred to as a 32)
