Cool What do you think about this combo?







Let me know what you think. I am getting a really good deal on them. The guy is mounting and balancing them for me and will install the TPMS (Tire Pressure Monitoring Sensors) for me. So what do you think. They are going on a 2007 F150 Screw 4.6L with 5.5' bed. The color of the truck is Tan.

285 60 18 cooper LTZ.
The wheels are Gunner 6 MB Wheels.
The tires got great reviews on there website. Also when I typed in the tire name in Google the sites that came up gave good reviews as well. I hope these will look good with the AS level kit I got. I believe I got the 2 inch one.

If you have a 4x4, I'd go with at least a 285/65-18.

The truck is a 4x2. I don't do any off roading, so I didn't get the 4 wheel drive.

I placed my order. Should get them in 7-10 days they are waiting for the tire sensors to arrive and will ship out by end of next week hopefully.

Do I need to do anything to reprogram the TPMS or will it find the new sensors on it's own?

If you are putting in new TPMS sensors you will have to have them programmed to your truck. If you are taking the sensors out of your stockers then you won't have to reprogram them.

I'm running the mb gunner 6's as well. I really dig them!

Is reprogramming them something I can do? If I go to the dealer or a Goodyear what is the cost to reprogram? Since I am going from a 17 to an 18 inch well the dealer told me the sensors would be no good.

I am also hoping to sell my stock wheels to recoup some $$$. How much should I ask for them? The tires would most likely need to be changed.

Also anyone know where to get a new 18 inch spare from cheap?

Your stick wheels probably aren't worth all that much. Especially if the tires are worn. Probably a couple hundred at most.
What part of Tampa are you from? I'm not that far.
