Lt275/70r18

Has anyone had any experience with the Continental Contitrac TR, LT275/70R18 as replacements for the stock P275/65R18 BFG's. The TR part #: 04567560000 is a OWL, Load Range E. I think these tires are for the F-350. I want a little taller tire than my stock tires and I want to keep my factory rims.
Any Advice?

The size difference is minimal, so there should be no problem at all. Somebody just asked about those tires the other day, but there wasn't much response: https://www.f150online.com/forums/sh...d.php?t=227185

One of my concerns is that they are Load Range E. I think that is a 10 ply tire and was wandering how they will ride and if they are a good all season tire or are they noisy, etc.

I have 10 plys on my motorhome and have not noticed additional noise.
I have read a fewposts from people that were not happy with the Continentals though. Ie: rough ride, shimmy etc.

yeah, all the tire rack reviews on it don't look good.

We have a new style Expedition here at work and I think it has those same tires on it. I took it on a long road trip once, and didn't notice any issues with noise, etc.
