wanting new tires

Hey all, was wondering if I could get some advise. I have a 05 f150 lariet 4x4. I would like to get some new tires, but would like to keep the same wheels. I dont off road that much, I just like the looks of them, and if it can make my truck sit a little higher, that is good too. Can anyone offer any suggestions, pics of my options?

If you want a tire with rugged looks and good highway manners I would say go with the BFgoodrich All terrains.

with relative safety in mind. stick to 33" max. you may get rubbing with either a 33 or larger without some kind of front end leveling. 285's however, will require no modifications to fit. my tires are 33's.
