Discount tire.com has them I think they are like 330 something a tire, when you get to the website search by size and you should see them.

Our local Ford dealer can get them next day. I priced the 285's and new 305's. Big price difference when you jump up from the 285's! Brother just got 325's and they rub on sharp turns. ( 2" AS ) . I'm going with the 305's after holidays.

Boy does the price ever jump !! Not sure if it is the size or just something new on the market that makes em so high, mine were just over $315 per tire.

I was in the same situation, couldn't decide what size to go with. Didn't want 325's due to rubbing issues and added weight / rolling resistance but really wanted to stay with an all terrain tread instead of mud. I ended up going with the new BFG K/O in a 285/65/20. Over 34.5" tall tire in a 285 width mounted on 9" rims. No rubbing issues and no noticiable power loss, so far I am really pleased with this setup.

Id love to see some pictures of these tires when you get them on! I know a couple of people around here have them, and have seen some pics but not many. I was lookin at the 325/65/18 but that just seems like more of a pain the more i read and ask around. I cant justify a mud tire either cause i do mostly on road driving (id like to have um though). I checked out these 305's yesterday and at 34" tall thats a pretty good size, and i dont beleive they are as wide as the 325's i could be wrong though.

You're correct, the 305's are not as wide as the 325's. It's a good width, had some 305 Goodyears on my son's 98, drove and rode nice.

Thanks dog'em. Glad to hear that someone has had some experience with a tire that size. I think it will be a happy medium since i cant exactly justify mud tires. the only thing that i dont like is the quote i got from discount 1650 bucks.. Geeeeezzzz
