I'm pretty sick-to-death of getting flats.
Anyone know of some rugged, punture-resistant Offroad Tires for a '13 F-150?

You're looking for a 3 ply all terrain tire?Originally Posted by Outlander Systems
Goodyear makes a few with Kevlar, they're super heavy and probably not worth the additional cost. The Duratrac is very popular on Jeeps but I feel like the sidewalls are just not up to the task but its much lighter than many others out there.
The best tires on the market in my opinion are whats offered by BFG. I currently run BFG All Terrain TA/KO2s on my JKU. Its my daily driver and my trail rig. People typically get about 50k on the originals if you do your part (rotos/ balancing/ air pressure ect.)
If your looking for something more agressive the KM2 is the shit. But its louder and wont handle wet roads as well. They will also wear faster.
FWIW a stiffer sidewall will let you air down more and still maintain some sidewall integrity while making the contact patch more flexible.
What are you damaging your tires on? Rocks and stumps?

I second the BFG All Terrain K/O's.
I have run those on many pickups, including my current 2013 GMC 2500 4x4. Went to a 34" tire and had to put a levelling kit on the front end to keep them from rubbing. Looks great and rides great, too. Not nearly as dinky as those small stock tires.
Never seen a flat with these tires...ever. Don't think I'd ever run anything else on a 4WD pickup.

Interestingly, I had been leaning towards the Duratracs.
Popped a sidewall on a stump at my property.
On top of that, my cheap tires are nail/screw magnets. I've patched the driver's side three times now, from three different nails, and the rear passenger tire has been patched twice, and I'm running on the spare from the stump-related blowout.
I just plugged the driver's side...again...on my lunch break from a screw. Shit's getting really old.

Dude you need to buy your tires from Discount tire and get the Free replacement road hazard coverage on that shit. You would have some brand new tires for free right now.
The Duratracs are good tires but Im thinking you would eat those up.
Id buy a Michelin product (BFG) before a Goodyear product any day. The TA/KO2s are actually pretty advanced in terms of tire tech. There are a few vids out there about the subject. Some of it is marketing BS but there is a lot substance to their claims.
But regardless of what tires you get, nails are gonna happen, that just comes from where your driving. All Michelin products come with a standard prorated road hazard warranty, don't let someone sell you a prorated warranty on tires.

Consider that a done deal.

Hankook Dynapro ATM [/endthread]
Super tread life with amazing traction in all conditions. Tread cleans easy (no, not at a car wash). They call Mesquite and Honey Locust thorns 'chumps' as they shrug them off. One of the few true all terrain tires out there.

I'll second any Hankook or Toyo tire. They are the toughest LT tires I've owned.
Take Care,
