Got Mine Today-BFG 285-65-18 AT

After reading about 30 posts I decided to go for it!!! These tires seem to work perfectly with a leveling kit and was exactly the look I was looking for!

They ride just a tad stiffer than the Rugged Trail's and are very quiet! Did not notice a power decrease at all!

I think you made a wise choice. They look great on your truck, fill up the fenders just enough, don't rob you of power or make a lot of noise and give pretty decent traction off-road. The only way they could be better is if they would just give them to us.

I also just purchased a set. The ride is noticeably rougher than the Rugged Trail. The tire shop put 55lbs in each and the tire says max pressure 65lbs. Ford said to run the Rugged Trail at 35lbs.

Any body know what the max pressure is on the Rugged Trail?

Also, what is the lowest pressure that you can safely and economically run the A/T? Should the tire pressure also comform to Ford's recommendation of 35lbs?

Thanks for all replies.

I would really like to see some pictures of the whole truck as well, as I am considering this exact setup for my FX4. Thanks.

I ordered the same tires with the Donahoe coil over kit. I get them put on tomorrow. Is your truck tuned? I was wondering if you recalibrated your speedometer or even needed to. Is your speedo accurate?

Lets see pics of the whole truck.

adios-2,

32-35psi would be my recommendation. 55psi is way to high for daily driving.
