read online reviews.. people tend to just suggest what they have which isnt much help when buying tires.

Anything goodyear, BFG, toyo..etc are going to be decent, just dont cheap out and buy a walmart brand

Actually most of the reviews on Duratrac's are great. Heavier truck owners usually complain about sidewall flex when cornering, but it's not a probably on a small truck like a Ranger.

I've also had Mickey Thompson ATZ's which were nice but quite expensive.
