Tire Size

I own a stock 2006 f150 xlt supercrew ( No lift, No level) I am in the Market for New Tires. I will be running 18" Rims... Just wondering if I could run anything larger than a 285/60/18? Would love to run 285/65/18, is this possible?

As always thanks for the help in advance as I bow to your Knowledge

What's the point? How will you benefit from that?

There is really not that much difference between those tire sizes to begin with. Not only that, but the larger the tires, the worse the MPG, and less power. Taller tires is just like putting a higher gear ratio in the rear end.

I bought stock size Terra Graplers, and love them. Wear great, ride great, perform great in snow too. I highly recommend them.
