265's or 285's????
OK I am not satisfied with the anwsers from the other Boards: FTE, FTW etc.. will you help me????
I am defintly getting new tires for my 04 150 2wd XLT Flareside w/ Daystar lift, currently there are P255/65/17's continentals on it, and there history, too small, I have only found BFG AT TA's in 285/70/17's=$880.00 OTD , Now in 265/70/17's I found a nicer selection and choose a Cooper Discovery AT=$474.00 OTD..
So how would the 285's ride?
Will they fill the fender too much?
Price is a bit much, and i know you get what you pay for!
Will the 265's look much better than stock, compared to 285's?
I can defintly swing the $474.00, the 285's would have to go on plastic!
MOST IMPOTANTLY, I NEED TO SEE SOME PICS OF THE TWO SET UPS..............PLEASE HELP ME!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I don't have pics but I think the 285's would look much better then the 265's. not sure what kind of look your going for though.
$880!!! for 285's wow. I am going to get pro comp 33x12.5x17 mud tires for about 650 out the door. < going to try to wait untill they do their buy 3 get the 4th free > so it will cut the cost about 150 bucks. They are going to go on weld sidwinders 17x10 rims. I got the rims for 800 bucks with push throughs so I payed 80 bucks for the weld covers.

Take a look at the Cooper Discoverer S/T. Priced cheaper than the BFG's but still have great looks and great wear. I have heard 80,000 miles with religious 8,000 mile rotation. If you dont rotate they will cup, and once they start it is hard to correct. I would have these on my truck right now but they were on backorder when I needed tires last fall. The snow was flying so I couldnt wait.
They come in:
LT265/70/17
LT275/70/17 (which is almost identical to a 285)
33X12.50R17LT (same dia. as 285, slightly wider tread)

Sure thing. What size are you going to go with? Did you get a price yet?
Let me know how you like them, noise-wise etc. So far all I have heard has been good. These will be on my truck this fall.
Glad I could help. If you want to take a look at the complete specs on these tires: CLICK HERE.
