I picked up a set of LT285/75/R18 Goodyear Wrangler MT/R on my 2009 F250, and they fit no problem at all. They measure out to about a 35x11" tire. I was wanting a taller tire, but not much wider than what was on the truck from the factory (LT275/70/R18). These new Goodyear Wranglers are different with the asymetrical tread pattern. I like them a lot.

So far, I've flexed it out and hit bumps turning, and there is no rubbing at all. Here are a few pics that will have to tide you over until I can get the truck all washed up and get better lighting conditions.

Here it is. No lift at all.









Asldo got the windows tinted. 35%

 

Looks great! Fills out the wheel wells so much better. I don't know what they were thinking when they made the tread pattern on those though...

 

Looks good man..

 

Very nice man, they fit perfect!
You keep making my wish I bought a super duty though, I don't appreciate it!

Have you felt much of a performance loss with the 4.10's?

 

I have not noticed a performance loss on the highway or around town.
I think a big test is going to be doing my regular pasture/trails in 4 high. And of course, when I hook up the cattle trailer.

But with just normal driving, no I can't really tell a difference. I'm really glad I opted for the 4.10 gears.

 

Nice truck man!!! how the hell could you afford a brand new super duty coming from a ranger?? lol congratulations!

 

hey bought it a while ago where have you been?

but anyway truck looks sweet man now get some pics of it in the mud

 

Now you have to go see if you get stuck in that one spot again lol. Looks great man!

 

i donno I must have just missed those threads

 

Those tires look good on there. Not to small not too big.

 

Very nice!

Those tires look better on the truck then they looked in pics.

 

Looks good how do they ride?

 

man i would of went white wall out but that is just me
otherwise that's a nice looking rig

 

I like the way those tires look in person

 

just the tires alone make the truck look so much beefier

 

nice truck my dad wont let me drive his anymore says im going to wear the mirrors out making them wave at people lol

 

Looks good.

It's weird though, I had 285/75's on my Dodge, and they were only like a 33.

 

They were probably 16" wheels then, duh.

 

Oh, didn't even pay attention to that, lol. I'm going on the 13th day straight of no day off, so bear with my retardedness, lol.

 

I thought the same thing at first lol

 

I haven't worked for the last 7 days! haha

 

Thanks for the compliments. I've put about 100 miles on them already, as I drive quite a few miles.

They seem to handle very well on the road. Coming from a very mild tread, I can definately feel the aggressive pattern at slow speeds on smooth asphalt. It feels about like any other mud-terrain tire. The outter lugs have more space between them than, say, a set of old-school BFG MTs.

They do make a little noise on the road, but it is not bad at all. Again, they're about on par with most radial mud-terrains I've owned in the past. They're MUCH quieter than my buddy's F250 with 35" Nitto Mud Grapplers. Those tires are loud!

The Goodyear Wranglers also did very well on wet pavement for me. I went through a pretty decent shower in town, and was impressed in how they handled around corners and hitting various puddles in the road. The truck was very sure footed. The factory Continental Conti-Tracs were terrible in the rain, by comparison. How bad, you say? I could get the back end of a 7,000lb truck sideways in the rain... with a 5.4L V8. Pathetic. Highway-oriented tires should do better than that.

And to Jimmeh-
I too was shocked to see how tall a LT285 series tire was when I started shopping. The best I can figure is that metric sizes are based totally off the size of the rim. A sidewall profile of 75 gives you a 8.5" of sidewall. Double it and add it to the rim diameter to get 35". A 35" tall "flotation" tire is 35" inches tall no matter what size hole is in the middle. That's the best I can figure. And, it would make sense if your 285s were 33" tall with a 16" rim.



EDIT- totally in with the late response! That'll teach me to answer the phone in the middle of a R-F post! haha

 

looks killer! I have heard nothing but amazing things about those new MT/Rs offroad performance

 

very nice would like to see wheelin pics .... and next mod should be exhaust let that 5.4 breathe .

 

looks good, I don't know, but are they the kevlar ones or no? they did a test on the kevlar one's in peterson's four wheel mag. I believe they said they were a good tire. don't bash me too hard I don't know much about the diff tires goodyear has.
