I have an 04 f150, 5.4L, 2wd, 31XXX miles and the Contitracs are about shot. My only question is what tires is everyone here running? I am haveing a hard time finding load range D tires, mostly pmetrics and E. I did find the D in the General Ameritrac but have not been fond of these tires in the past. Right now I pull a 3,300# popup, but I want to stick with a truck tire due to upgrading the trailer in the next next year or two.

 

Ive been watching this for a while myself, here is what I have picked up.
Max sixe on 4x2 = 265/70/17
Popular tires
BFG a/t
bridgestone dueler
revos
toyo a/t
cooper zeon
nittro terra grapplers
pro comp extreme a/t
mickey thompson a/t

nobody said if these are P rated or if they are LT
anyone else

 

Well i have a 305/70/17 on my 2wd but I have the 2.5" leveler on the front.....I think you can go bigger than 265's even without the lift...wandell is good at these tire questions...

 

Sir Wandell is the one who said 265/70/17 for a 4x2 without lift, but I'm listening if some else has a comment for a non-leveled 4x2

 

I bought Michelin LTX M/S, and they are great.

 

well, i do believe he knows better than me....just mine came stock with 255's...I remember seeing somewhere on here someone saying 285 was as big as you could go on a 2X4......

 

ha! i started this https://www.f150online.com/forums/sh...d.php?t=318300 in the tires forum, thinking the same thing

 

I have 18" rims and will be looking for 285/65R18 to replace my Longtrail Goodriches.I have about another2 months before its time.

 

I have the 255/65/17's, I was looking at that size or the 245/70/17's, theyare the closest size (.4" shorter) withoutgoing too extreme. That is about the max I want to go, thatks for the advice, keep it coming!

 

I have them also and you cant go wrong with em.

 

i'm running 275/65/R17 's on my truck. came with 265/75/R17 's. the 275/65/r17's are the same height, but wider.

 

I have a lowered 2wd and use that same tire size. Uniroyal laredo, great inexpensive tire. I plan on using the same heigth tire (31.6) when I get 22's.

 

what brand/model tire did you go with? i couldn't find a listing in your gallery.
(nice truck!)

 

right now i've got LT275/65/17 Fuzion XTI all terrains. ditched the conticraps from day 1!

 

I have the Pirelli Scorpion STRa's, I forget the size, with about 15K on them and I love them! No visible tread wear at all. They are inflated to 65psi and have been since I got them. My only complaint is they hold rocks like God's gonna quit making them, that is untill I hit the highway. I also have a GroundForce 2" drop shackle in the rear and the oversize tires really fill the wells nicely.
