01 7700 Tire questions

Does anybody have any pics of these 7700 series F150's with bigger tires and inform me what size they are. I have I believe are 245/75/16 and want bigger aggresive tires. Since I cant find anything for wheels I am just going to get better tires. I don't know what sizes I can fit under it though and would like to see some that have bigger tires so I can get a general idea. Thanks.

Are T bars turned up or not? Probley a 285-75-16 is as big as you can go stock. I am liking my toyo MT very good.

I saw a guy on here a while back who had 35's on his 7700. He said they fit fine without any trimming or cranking the Tbars. Not sure what his handle was though.285/75/16's will fit no problem.

My tires was 1500 installed. I told them to give me a priceon the cheapest set of 35-12.50-17, and a price for the best. they said it was the toyo for the best, and there was only $150.00 diffence for the set, so i got the toyos. My boss runs them on a f250 37-13.50-17, and clames he gets 60-70,000 miles out of them, mostly highway.Every one who has asked me about my tires say they was they best they ever ran. I like them alot.

Im going to try them here sometime when the weather permits. I don't drive the truck much mostly for work and to haul my dirtbike and wheeler around. But when I go in the woods to get wood the tires I have flat out suck in slick conditions. and in the snow. Not sure about wheels yet. I think bigger tires and straight exaust is about all I want to do. I'd like to fit 35's under it but I already get chatty fuel milage lol.

I would avoid 35's. They will fit on a leveled truck, but are very tight and will allow hardly any clearance. Since it sounds like you actually use the truck when you do drive it, stick with either a 285 or 305. It'll be bigger but still allow some room for the tires during suspension travel.
