Blackhawk Ridgecrawler R/T

35X12.50R17 • 125Q • All Weather • Rugged Terrain

I purchased these tires in October 2026. They look great. I was surprised at how smooth they are, minor road noise but with that aggressive tread pattern thats expected. Cant attest to how long they'll last but they're a much cheaper alternative to the major brands. Priority Tire was great to order from. Quick shipping and I felt like I knew what was happening every step of the way.

I have a truck that I ended up getting Blackhawk tires for a few years ago, but they are commercial truck sized tires, both steer and a very aggressively lugged drive. I thought they have been great tires since I got them so I opted to go with these Ridgecrawlers for my 08 F250. I am coming off of the tried and true BF KO2 tires and would have gone KO3 but I figured these were apparently highly rated and of course cheaper. So far I am happy with them. I do sling a lot more rocks on gravel roads and drive ways that I pick up, but this tread is a bit more aggressive, which is what I was going for. I use my truck with a pickup plow in the winter and I also haul very heavy in the summer. Out of the gate these are handling maximum load rated hauling with ease. They actually feel more comfortable on the highway. Maybe they are more pliable than my worn out KO2's. Either way they balanced out just as easy or better than the KO2's. I almost feel as if there is less pull with these tires. Could be the fresh tread increasing the tire height and keeping the engine in more of a sweet spot, but not sure. They feel lighter. Hopefully thats not a bad thing. They look to be built well. One thing I do notice, and this may be due to me being used to a less aggressive tread pattern, but at the moment, or at least till maybe I put some miles on them, the steering feels a little light. Again, I'm coming off of well worn KO2's that were making a large contact pattern with the road. But in some scenarios these tires seem to want to either wander or not self center as much. They literally turn easier on the ground though and I think everything I'm experiencing is simply a more aggressive tread pattern. They do make a little noise, but nothing bad. I will definitely be testing the limits of both weight and snow when it comes to these tires, but so far with the weight I felt confident immediately at speeds of 70mph and a large gooseneck dump trailer loaded. I'd say main thing here is that the brand in general is decent quality and I am happy with my purchase so far.
