Well its that time. Time to get new tires. I might put a level on the truck when I do tires, still not sure yet. I don't want huge tires but something a little bigger then stock wouldn't be too bad. So what do you guys suggest?

I don't feel like dropping like $1,500 either so no need to post those. lol

 

duratracs are great tires...and what size are you running now?

 

Duratrecs, BFGs.
Probably the only two i'd reccomend. I've only ever Run BFGS. so thats all i can account for.

 

Im actually looking at the Kevlar MTR's. Heard pretty good things about them.

 

Nitto Terra Grappler's hands down.

Found some Terra's (265/70) for $159.99. But I would mind a 275/70.

 

They will be my next tire when I have another truck or SUV. AT's wouldn't look right on my current vehicle.

I\'m not sure lol. I am thinking either 265/70 or 285/70.

Just found some 285/70\'s for $185 at discounttires.com

 

I had 285/70/17s on my F150 when I had it. I had the BFG ATs and they were like $250 something a tire lol. They looked great IMO though. Just the right size with the leveling kit.

Any idea how much lower the two wheel drive is vs the 4x4?

 

I'd guess 2"

 

I'll try and find out. I don't want any rubbing because I will defiantly not be going any bigger then 2".

 

I'm pretty sure the 285s would still fit the 4x2 just fine with a leveling kit. They would've fit my truck fine without one, and lots of guys actually run 35s on the 4x4s with just a leveling kit.

Here's mine leveled with the 285s

 

Oh yeah thats right they do. And Its gonna be stock wheels too. I think I will go with 285's.

What gears did you have Ryan? Did you notice a difference?

 

285's would be my choice as well.

 

It had 3.73s and there wasn't a noticeable difference, the truck was slow as hell to begin with haha!

 

Compared to the new trucks that is true. The new engine lineup is a definite win.

 

Mine had the 4.6 so it was extra slow lol.

 

yea i drove my buddies 00 4.6 4x4 and to get it moving i had to plant my foot to the floorboard lol
